Instructions

3 steps
Step 1 of 3

Score the Avocado

With the avocado halves still in their skin, carefully slice the flesh 3-4 times in one direction. Rotate the avocado and make another 3-4 perpendicular slices to create small cubes, ensuring you don't cut through the peel.

Chef's Tip

Using a small paring knife gives you better control for scoring the avocado without piercing the skin.

Step 2 of 3

Season the Halves

Drizzle the fresh lemon juice evenly over the scored avocado halves. Sprinkle with kosher salt, then drizzle with your favorite hot sauce to your desired level of spiciness.
