Cut half of a red onion into fine dice by first cutting parallel to the cutting board, then making sticks, and finally dicing.

Pickle the diced red onion in lime juice for about five minutes to mellow the flavor.

Select ripe avocados, checking for softness and blemishes before cutting.

Carefully cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

Add a shot (about 1 teaspoon) of extra virgin olive oil to the bowl with the avocado.

Mash the avocado with a potato masher to a chunky consistency.

Chop cilantro, rolling it up to make it easier to chop, and add to the avocado mixture.

Scoop out the seeds from the tomatoes, chop them roughly, and add to the mixture.

Drain some of the pickling liquid from the red onions and add the onions to the guacamole mixture.

Mix everything together and check for seasoning before serving.
