Instructions:

Tips:
- Ensure your avocado is ripe for the best taste and texture. A ripe avocado yields to gentle pressure but is not mushy.
- For extra flavor, consider toasting the sunflower seeds in a dry skillet for a few minutes until they turn golden brown.
- Use a fork to mash the avocado, but leave some chunks for added texture.
- If you prefer a tangier taste, you can add more lemon juice according to your liking.
- To prevent the avocado from browning, mix in the lemon juice immediately after mashing.
