Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 lemon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized bowl.
Using a fork, mash the avocado to your desired consistency, leaving some chunks for texture.
Cut the lemon in half and juice it directly over the avocado. This will add flavor and prevent it from browning.
Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the mashed avocado. Stir to combine.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the mixture and fold it in gently.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the avocado smash. Mix until evenly distributed.
Taste your avocado smash and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve immediately on toast, as a dip, or alongside your favorite dish.
