Tree Nut Free Avocado with Sea Salt
Sometimes the simplest preparations are the most satisfying, and this one proves it. A perfectly ripe avocado gets a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before being finished with flaky sea salt — and honestly, that's all it needs. The lemon brightens the rich, buttery flesh while the salt adds little pops of flavor in every bite. A pinch of red pepper flakes or a crack of black pepper can nudge it toward something with a bit more edge if that's your mood. Because every ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts, there's zero label-reading stress or worry about hidden allergens sneaking in through a sauce or seasoning blend. You eat it straight from the skin with a spoon, which somehow makes it taste even better. It's the kind of effortless snack or light side dish that feels indulgent without requiring any real effort at all.

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.
