Toss gently until evenly mixed through.
Taste and season with extra salt if needed, or an extra squeeze of lemon juice. Serve immediately with chips or veggie sticks for dipping.

Recipe Notes

For a creamier guacamole, continue mixing until reaching your desired consistency. If you want a mashed guacamole, feel free to smash the avocado with a fork, until reaching desired texture.
