Step by Step: Preparing the Guacamole

1. Preparing the Avocado:
Start by cutting the avocado in half. Use a sharp knife to avoid accidents. Scoop out the flesh with a teaspoon, being careful not to scratch the skin. Place the flesh in a medium bowl. The ripe avocado should be soft and creamy, perfect for mashing.

2. Mashing the Avocado:
Use a fork to mash the avocado flesh. You can leave some larger pieces for texture if you like. Add lemon juice over the mashed avocado to prevent oxidation and keep its vibrant color.

3. Chopping the Vegetables:
Dice the tomato into small cubes and finely chop the red onion. Also, crush the garlic clove with the knife blade and chop it finely. These ingredients will add freshness and flavor to your dish.

4. Mixing the Ingredients:
In the bowl with avocado, add the tomato, onion, and garlic. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything with a spatula or fork, being careful not to mash the tomato too much. You want to keep a pleasant texture.

5. Preparing the Toast:
Toast the slices of bread in a toaster or on a frying pan. If you wish, you can cut the bread into heart shapes using a cutter. This detail not only looks good but also adds a personal and romantic touch to the dish.

6. Serving:
Place the guacamole mixture on the toasted slices of bread. You can add a few slices of tomato on top for extra color and freshness. Serve immediately to enjoy all the flavors.
