Equipment
- Medium mixing bowl
- Fork or potato masher
- Cutting board
- Sharp knife
Ingredients
Avocado Honey Mash
- 3 ripe avocados about 1 pound total
- 2 tbsp raw honey local if you can get it
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil good quality
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice about 1 lemon
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 pinch flaky sea salt to taste
- 1 pinch freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Optional Finishing Touches
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds or hemp hearts
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes for a little heat
- 1 tbsp fresh mint or basil finely torn
Instructions
Prepare the Avocados
- Halve the avocados lengthwise and remove the pits. Scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
- Using a fork, mash the avocado to your preferred texture. Leave it slightly chunky for more character or mash it smooth if you prefer a creamier spread.
Build the Flavor
- Drizzle the raw honey and extra virgin olive oil over the mashed avocado.
- Add the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest. Fold everything together gently with the fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Season with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Stir once more.
Finish and Serve
- Transfer to a serving bowl or spread directly onto toast, crackers, or alongside fresh vegetables.
- Add optional finishing touches: a scattering of toasted sesame seeds, a pinch of red pepper flakes, or a few torn mint or basil leaves.
- Serve immediately for the best color and texture. If preparing ahead, press plastic wrap directly against the surface and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
