Prepare avocados
Halve the avocados, remove pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.

Mash and season
Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocados to your desired texture (smooth or slightly chunky). Immediately add the fresh lime juice and kosher salt; mix to combine. The lime juice brightens flavor and slows browning.

Add optional salsa and rest
If using salsa, gently fold in up to 1/4 cup for extra flavor and texture or spoon salsa on top as a garnish. Let the guacamole rest 5–10 minutes at room temperature to allow flavors to meld before serving.
