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 spoonful. Optional black pepper and red pepper flakes give you the freedom to dial up the heat or keep things mellow depending on your mood. It's the kind of dish that feels indulgent without requiring any real effort — just halve, dress, and eat straight from the skin. For anyone navigating ingredient sensitivities, this recipe is refreshingly straightforward: every component is whole and unprocessed, so there's nothing hidden to worry about. It works beautifully as a light snack, a quick side, or even a base for a more elaborate spread when you're short on time.

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.
