Creamy, rich, and naturally satisfying, this simple preparation lets a perfectly ripe avocado do all the heavy lifting. A drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice bring brightness and depth, while flaky sea salt adds that irresistible finishing crunch. Optional black pepper and red pepper flakes give it a gentle kick if you're in the mood for a little heat. Every single ingredient here is completely plant-based, so there's zero guesswork about hidden dairy or sneaky additives — just clean, whole food on a plate. It comes together in minutes with no cooking required, making it one of the easiest snacks or light starters you can put on the table. Eaten straight from the skin with a spoon, it feels indulgent without being complicated, which is honestly the best kind of recipe.

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.
