• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

4. Add the chopped onion, lime juice, jalapeño, salt, and cumin.
5. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
6. Stir in the chopped cilantro.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (more lime juice, salt, or jalapeño).

Notes

• For best flavor, make the guacamole right before serving.
• To prevent browning, cover the guacamole tightly with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole.
• Store leftover guacamole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
• A serrated knife is recommended for cutting the avocado.
