3. Salt: Salt enhances the flavor of the avocados and other ingredients in the guacamole.
4. Onion: Finely chopped onion, often red or white onion, is added for a sharp and slightly spicy flavor.
5. Tomato: Diced or chopped tomatoes are a common addition, providing a fresh contrast to the creamy avocados.
6. Garlic: Minced garlic adds a aromatic element to the guacamole. Some people prefer roasted garlic for a milder flavor.
7. Cilantro: Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped or minced, are used to add a fresh, herbal note.
