Ingredients
  • 1 medium, ripe but firm Avocado
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • pinch Salt

Preparing the Avocado

Wash the avocado thoroughly under cool water.

Slicing the Avocado

Cut the avocado lengthwise around the seed. Twist the two halves to separate them. Remove the seed by gently tapping it with a knife and twisting, or using a spoon.

Slicing the Avocado Halves

Place each avocado half, flat side down, on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the avocado into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick. You can slice directly in the skin or remove the avocado from the skin before slicing, depending on your preference.

Chili-Lime Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, chili powder, and salt.

Dressing the Avocado Slices

Arrange the avocado slices on a plate or directly on your salad. Drizzle the chili-lime dressing evenly over the avocado slices.

Serving

Serve the avocado slices immediately over your favorite salad. The chili-lime dressing will enhance the flavor and help prevent browning. Alternatively, store the slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
