AVOCADO WITH LEMON AND OLIVE OIL
Because this recipe is so simple, using excellent ingredients is important. Choose a ripe avocado that gives slightly when pressed. Use smooth, richly flavored extra-virgin olive oil, and splurge on good sea salt; we recommend Fleur de Sel. Serve with toasted rustic bread, and let guests spread the avocado on it as they would fresh butter.

Steps:
- In a small jar or container with lid, shake oil with the vinegar, olive paste, onion, basil and a pinch of salt and pepper until well blended.

Using a spatula, carefully place the avocado, cut side down, to a platter and gently press each of them to fan out the slices. Squeeze a bit of fresh lemon over the tops and drizzle the vinaigrette on top of the avocados and serve.

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure. Avoid avocados that are too hard or too soft.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice can be used, but it may not be as flavorful.
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. This will help to balance out the flavors of the avocado and lemon.
- Serve avocado with lemon and olive oil immediately after preparing it. This will prevent the avocado from browning.
- If you are making avocado toast, use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the weight of the avocado. Whole-wheat bread or sourdough bread are good options.
- You can also add other toppings to your avocado toast, such as sliced tomatoes, crumbled bacon, or a poached egg.
