1/4 cup finely chopped onion

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Tips

If your avocados are too hard and unripe, let them stand at room temperature for a few days to ripen. Speed ripening by placing the avocados in a paper bag.
Skip the tortilla chips, and serve guacamole with cut-up bell pepper, cherry tomatoes or zucchini.
Adding fresh lime juice helps to prevent the guacamole from browning but also adds a bright, fresh flavor. Add the lime juice to the avocado mixture as soon as possible to keep your guacamole looking fresh!
