Chicken Free Avocado with Sea Salt
Ripe avocado dressed with good olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, and a pinch of flaky sea salt is one of those combinations that needs almost nothing else to feel complete. The creamy, buttery flesh soaks up the bright citrus and rich oil in the best possible way, while the flaky salt adds little bursts of savory crunch in every bite. A pinch of red pepper flakes or freshly cracked black pepper can nudge it toward something with a little more edge, but even the bare-bones version is genuinely satisfying. This is the kind of dish that proves simple ingredients, treated with care, are often the most craveable. You eat it straight from the skin with a spoon, which honestly makes it feel even more indulgent. It comes together in under a minute once your avocado is ripe, making it a perfect quick snack, light starter, or side that fits into almost any meal without any fuss.

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.
