Notes
- Store leftovers in an air-tight container for up to 3 days. The avocado might slightly turn brown if resting for too long, but will still be good (although the lemon juice will slow down the browning process).
- You can flavor the mixture with curry powder, cayenne pepper for some heat or add a handful of fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley.
