Slice open the avocado and remove the pit. Using a spoon, gently scrape the avocado into a medium sized bowl. Mash the avocado using a fork until the desired thickness. If you like it chunky, gently smash it. If you like it smoother, mash until there aren’t any more lumps.
Slice the lime in half and add the juice from half of the lime into the bowl. This juicer works well. Add the salt and onion powder and mix together. Set aside.
Dice the red onion and add it to the bowl.
Rinse and pat the fresh cilantro dry and chop it into small pieces. Use the leaves and stems. Add it to the bowl and gently stir until all ingredients are combined well.
Time for a taste test. Start with the recipe and adjust to your taste. Add additional seasonings to our liking, including garlic powder if tolerated.
Garnish with a sprinkle of diced red onion or a sprig of fresh cilantro.
Serve fresh and enjoy!
