For a smoother salsa, use a slightly softer avocado. If you prefer a chunkier texture, choose a firmer avocado. The heat of the habanero can vary greatly. Start with a small amount and add more to your preference. You can also substitute with a milder pepper like jalapeno. If you don't have fresh lemons, bottled lemon juice will work, but fresh is always best for flavor. This salsa is best served fresh. While it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, the avocado may brown slightly.
