Julian's Famous Guacamole

This delicious but simple simple simple guacamole recipe is Julian's specialty.
Ingredients:
2 ripe large avocados, pitted & peeled
1-2 T fresh lemon juice (depends on your taste preference)
1-3 t sea salt, Himalayan salt, or kosher salt (start with 1 t and check taste before you add more; do not under any circumstances use "table salt" like Morton's)
1-2 large garlic clove minced
ground cumin
fresh ground pepper (optional)
2 T red onion, small dice (optional)
2 T fresh tomato based salsa (optional)

With a potato masher, mash up avocados & some of the lemon juice until it has the desired consistency (I like my guac chunky but some people prefer smoother). Add garlic, 1 t salt and 1/2 t cumin. Taste. Add more lemon, salt, pepper, and cumin as desired. Add other optional ingredients as desired. Serve immediately.

If there is any left (doubt it!), then using a silicone spatula, put it into a smaller container with lid. Before covering, try drizzling a bit more lemon juice over it to preserve.
