Sometimes the most satisfying thing you can put on the table is something that barely needs a recipe at all. A perfectly ripe avocado, split open and dressed with good olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, and a pinch of flaky sea salt is one of those rare dishes that feels indulgent without any effort. The lemon juice brightens the creamy richness of the flesh, while the flaky salt adds little bursts of savory crunch in every bite. A pinch of red pepper flakes can sneak in just enough heat if you're in the mood for it. Since this is entirely plant-based and built from whole, single-ingredient foods, there's zero guesswork about what's in it โ no hidden proteins, no processed fillers, just clean and simple eating. You eat it straight from the skin with a spoon, which honestly makes it feel a little luxurious. It works as a light snack, a quick side, or even a no-fuss starter when you want something that looks effortless because it genuinely is.

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.
