Per servingIngredients
- check_circle1 cup ripe avocado, halved and pitted
- radio_button_unchecked1/2 lemon, juiced
- radio_button_unchecked2 tbsp hot sauce (such as Valentina®), or to taste
- radio_button_unchecked2 pinches kosher salt
Instructions
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.
Using a small paring knife gives you better control for scoring the avocado without piercing the skin.
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.
The lemon juice not only adds flavor but also helps prevent the avocado from browning too quickly.
Serve and Enjoy
Serve immediately and eat the seasoned avocado cubes directly from the skin with a fork or spoon.
