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
Directions
Step 1
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Use a spoon to scoop the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Add the sea salt and black pepper to the bowl.
Step 4
Use a fork to mash the avocados to your desired consistency. If you prefer a chunky texture, be sure not to over-mash.
Step 5
Chop the fresh cilantro finely and add it to the avocado mixture.
Step 6
Slice the green onion thinly and add it to the mix.
Step 7
Sprinkle the red chili flakes over the smashed avocado for a slight kick of heat.
Step 8
Gently mix all the ingredients until they are well combined.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if necessary.
Step 10
Serve the smashed avocado immediately. It can be paired with low-carb crackers, fresh vegetable sticks, or enjoyed on its own.
