Honey Free Avocado with Sea Salt
Creamy, rich, and ready in minutes, 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 satisfying crunch on every bite. Optional black pepper and red pepper flakes give you the option to dial up the heat just a little if you're in the mood. The whole thing is served straight from the skin, which means minimal cleanup and maximum enjoyment. So many store-bought dips, spreads, and dressings sneak in sweeteners you'd never expect, so having a go-to recipe built entirely from whole, savory ingredients is genuinely useful. This one is as clean and straightforward as it gets — no sweeteners, no fillers, just good fat and bold flavor in the most effortless form possible.

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.
