Almond Free Avocado with Sea Salt
Few dishes are as effortlessly satisfying as a perfectly ripe avocado dressed with nothing more than good olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, and a pinch of flaky sea salt. The creamy, buttery flesh pairs beautifully with the bright acidity of the lemon juice, and that finishing salt adds a little crunch and depth that makes every bite feel intentional. A pinch of red pepper flakes or freshly ground black pepper can bring just enough heat to keep things interesting. This is the kind of recipe that proves simple ingredients, treated with care, need absolutely nothing else to shine. There are no hidden extras here — just clean, whole-food ingredients that are naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so you can dig in without a second thought. Serve it straight from the skin with a spoon for a snack, light lunch, or elegant starter that comes together in under five minutes.

Halve the avocado lengthwise and remove the pit. If the avocado is ripe, the flesh should yield gently to light pressure and the skin should peel away cleanly.

Place the halves cut-side up on a cutting board or plate. Drizzle each half with the olive oil and lemon juice, then sprinkle evenly with the flaky sea salt and black pepper and red pepper flakes, if using.
