Steps

Add the diced onion, jalapeno, and cilantro to the mashed avocado.
5
Fold in the shredded iceberg lettuce to bulk up the guacamole and add crunch.

Notes

The author suggests this is a great trick for parties to make the guacamole last longer and reduce costs, as iceberg lettuce is cheaper than avocados.
