Lactose Free Avocado with Sea Salt
Creamy, rich, and naturally dairy-free, 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 without a drop of cream or butter in sight. Flaky sea salt is the real hero here — it draws out the avocado's buttery flavor in a way that feels almost indulgent. A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a gentle kick if you're in the mood for a little heat. The whole thing comes together in minutes and is served straight from the skin, which means minimal cleanup and maximum satisfaction. It's the kind of effortless dish that proves you don't need much to eat really, really well.

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.
