Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley or cilantro
- 8 pieces Crackers or toast points (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pits. Using a large spoon, gently scoop out the avocado halves in one piece.
Place the halves flat-side down on a cutting board and slice them thinly into even pieces, about 1/4-inch thick.
Arrange the sliced avocado pieces neatly on a serving platter, slightly fanning them out for presentation.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and chili flakes (if using).
Drizzle the lime and olive oil mixture evenly over the sliced avocado.
Finely chop the fresh parsley or cilantro and sprinkle it over the avocado slices for garnish.
Serve immediately on its own or accompanied by crackers or toast points for added texture.
