Paleo Avocado with Sea Salt
Few things in the kitchen are as satisfying as a perfectly ripe avocado that needs almost nothing done to it. The creamy, buttery flesh gets a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice that brightens every bite without masking the natural richness. Flaky sea salt scattered across the top adds a gentle crunch and that little pop of flavor that makes simple food feel intentional. A pinch of red pepper flakes or a crack of black pepper can round things out if you want a subtle kick. This is the kind of dish that fits effortlessly into a whole-foods approach to eating — every single ingredient is clean, unprocessed, and exactly what it claims to be. No labels to scrutinize, no sneaky additives, just real food served straight from the skin with a spoon. It works as a quick snack, a light starter, or an easy side when you need something nourishing on the table fast.

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.
