A simple and delicious way to treat a perfectly ripe avocado
Take three ingredients, take one more if you want, and then — maybe — take just one more. It’s as simple as that. These very straightforward recipes can be made with minimum effort and ingredients, but the more things you add, the better they get. The only ingredient I’m going to assume you have already is salt and pepper, everything else gets added to the total. However, feel free to use these ideas as starting points for your own experimenting based on what you have to hand.
I’m not sure when avocado prices became a kind of social barometer but I must be internalizing it somehow because I nearly fainted when I walked past a local vegetable shop and saw they were only $2 each. Considering they’ve been anywhere from $5 to $15 in recent memory, I knew it would be false economy not to buy them. With something is as rarified and precious as an avocado, there’s nothing wrong with just driving a spoon straight into it. A few embellishments, however, can make it even more of a solitary treat. If you can manage to catch an avocado of your own, you might consider this recipe.
