• In a separate bowl, combine the red onion, cucumber, tomato, jalapeño, and cilantro.

• Mix well and set aside.

4- Make the Avocado Mayo:

• In a bowl, mash the avocado and mix in lemon juice and roasted garlic.

• In a pan, melt butter and mix in parsley.

• Add the parsley-butter mixture to the avocado mash and stir in optional yogurt for extra creaminess.

5- Assemble the Dish:
