Ingredients
2 ripe avocados (I used 4 tiny avocados)
1/4 teaspoon of salt, more to taste
1 tablespoon fresh lime, or more to taste
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion
1 Serrano pepper, stems removed, some seeds removed - minced very finely
2 tablespoons cilantro (leaves and tender stems), finely chopped
A dash of freshly grated black pepper
1/2 ripe tomato, seeds and pulp removed, chopped - I used about 5 cherry tomatoes and removed the seeds and pulp, Roma tomatoes work great too - and they are a little easier to de-seed/de-pulp, if using Roma tomato use 1 whole one

Directions
Peel, de-pit, mash avocado into a medium bowl. Add 1/4 tsp salt and lime juice.
Add onion, Serrano pepper, cilantro, ground black pepper, and tomato. Mix well. Taste, adjust salt & pepper, and lime juice as desired.
Serve immediately, if desired, or cover with saran wrap (gently touching the surface of the guacamole--to prevent browning), place in refrigerator to let the flavors develop. I let mine rest for about 1 hour before serving and it was excellent.
