Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe avocados
- 1 piece lime
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 stalk green onion
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Use a spoon to scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Juice the lime and add the juice to the avocado in the bowl. This will not only add flavor but also prevent the avocado from browning.
Add the sea salt and black pepper to the bowl.
Use a fork to mash the avocados to your desired consistency. If you prefer a chunky texture, be sure not to over-mash.
Chop the fresh cilantro finely and add it to the avocado mixture.
Slice the green onion thinly and add it to the mix.
Sprinkle the red chili flakes over the smashed avocado for a slight kick of heat.
Gently mix all the ingredients until they are well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if necessary.
Serve the smashed avocado immediately. It can be paired with low-carb crackers, fresh vegetable sticks, or enjoyed on its own.
