For a vegan option, substitute the butter with a high-quality olive oil or a vegan butter alternative. If you're not a fan of raw red onion, try briefly pickling it in lime juice for a milder flavor. Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices in the avocado mixture. Cumin, chili powder, or a squeeze of lime juice would all be delicious additions. Celery can be used as a substitute.
