Grilled Avocado
Grilled Avocado uses ripe whole avocados brushed with olive oil, lime juice, and salt, then grilled flesh-side down to develop char marks and slight tenderness. The grilling softens the avocado and adds a smoky element while retaining creamy texture. Served warm with extra lime juice and optional tahini sauce, this preparation highlights the fruit's richness enhanced by bright and savory touches.
