Cholesterol free, and no low in saturated fat.
Ingredients:
- One ripe avocado (I prefer to err on the side of almost-ripe rather than over-ripe).
- Extra virgin olive oil.
- Fresh sea salt.
- Ground/powdered chili pepper.
- Other spices to taste (paprika, etc.).
Preparation:
- Cut avocado in half.
- Scoop out of rind, cut into thick slices (either latitudinally or longitudinally is fine), place on plate.
- Slightly separate the slices from each other. (The slices will inconveniently stick to each other; there is no need to go overboard with this, it is for the next step.)
- Drizzle olive oil over the avocado slices.
- Add salt, pepper, and spices to taste.
Eat with fork.
If the avocado turns out to be too ripe for fork slices, it can also be mashed like guacamole, spiced, and spread on toast.

Avocados may have more unsaturated fat than saturated fat, but they are not free of saturated fat.

You forgot to mention the best thing about avocados…super high fiber content!
[BTW, "Leave a comment" blends in to the line...had to look for it.]
