Wheat Free Avocado with Sea Salt
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 that balances the buttery flesh beautifully. Flaky sea salt is the real star here — it adds a satisfying crunch and draws out every bit of natural flavor in a way that fine table salt just can't match. Optional black pepper and red pepper flakes give you the option to keep things mellow or add a gentle kick, depending on your mood. Every single ingredient in this dish is naturally free of wheat, so there's no label-reading, no substitutions, and no stress — just whole, clean food. You eat it straight from the skin with a spoon, which honestly makes it feel like a little treat. It's the kind of effortless snack or starter that proves the best cooking is sometimes barely cooking 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.
