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
Directions
Step 1
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized bowl.
Step 2
Using a fork, mash the avocado to your desired consistency, leaving some chunks for texture.
Step 3
Cut the lemon in half and juice it directly over the avocado. This will add flavor and prevent it from browning.
Step 4
Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the mashed avocado. Stir to combine.
Step 5
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the mixture and fold it in gently.
Step 6
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the avocado smash. Mix until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Taste your avocado smash and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve immediately on toast, as a dip, or alongside your favorite dish.
