Peanut Free Avocado with Sea Salt
Few dishes are as effortlessly satisfying as a perfectly ripe avocado dressed with just the right finishing touches. A drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice bring out the buttery richness of the flesh, while flaky sea salt adds that irresistible crunch and depth in every bite. Optional black pepper and red pepper flakes let you dial up the heat to your liking, making this as mellow or as bold as the moment calls for. The whole thing comes together in minutes with no cooking required — just halve, dress, and eat straight from the skin with a spoon. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from peanuts and peanut derivatives, so there's zero label-reading stress involved. It's the kind of snack or light starter that feels indulgent without any of the fuss, and it's proof that the simplest recipes are often the most craveable.

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.
