I did a quick demo with it using the Chopper for the Onion and Tomato (ofcourse use the Tomato Knife for this too), The Mini tart Shaper to Smash the Avocados and soften it up. Cut/Chop the Cilantro in the Prep Bowl with Kitchen Sissors. use Citrus Press for lime, Mix with Mix and Scrape and add salt to taste.
