- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup, finely chopped red onion
- 0.5 cup, quartered cherry tomatoes

- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 4 slices radish slices

Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized bowl.
Add the lemon juice and use a fork to smash the avocado to your desired consistency, whether smooth or chunky.
Season the smashed avocado with sea salt and black pepper, and stir until well combined.
Gently fold in the finely chopped red onion, quartered cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Sprinkle the crushed red pepper flakes over the top for a bit of heat and flavor.
To serve, spoon the smashed avocado onto a plate or shallow bowl, and create a little nest in the center.
Place the radish slices decoratively on top, and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil for added richness.
Serve immediately as a side dish or atop grain-free bread or crackers to keep it Paleo-friendly.
