- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 3/4 tsp salt

Instructions
- Mash Avocados: Add the ripe avocados to a large bowl. Using a potato masher or a large fork, mash the avocados until they are nearly smooth, creating a creamy base.

- For extra freshness, serve immediately or store tightly covered with plastic wrap pressed on the surface to prevent browning.
