Cut the avocado in half by running the knife around it. Then remove the seed with the help of the knife (watch video). Then cut the flesh horizontally and vertically to create cubes and then scoop it out with a spoon.

In a large bowl add the avocado and season with salt. Also add in the cumin powder if you decide to use it

Add in the onion, tomato, lime juice and cilantro and give it a good mix and mash. Finely mince the garlic and add it if you are going to use it and also deseed and finely dice the Jalapeno and add that in as well.

Give it all a good final mix and the guacamole is now ready.
