Taste and add more salt if needed.1 lime, 1-2 cloves garlic, ¼ teaspoon sea salt, 1 medium roma tomato, ¼ cup minced white onion, ¼ cup minced cilantro, 1 jalapeño pepper, ½ teaspoon ground cumin
Notes
Single serving: To make a single serving of lunch-sized guac, use 1 avocado, ½ lime, a small clove of garlic, and a pinch of sea salt.
Lime substitute: In a pinch, you can use lemon juice. But I find that lemon can overpower the flavor, so only use it sparingly.
