Directions:

Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add two cloves of garlic, thinly sliced, and 1⁄2 teaspoon ground turmeric. Cook, giving it the occasional stir until the garlic starts to sizzle and turns golden and toasty. This will happen in four to five minutes. Turn off the heat and sprinkle in the chili flakes and season with salt.

Using a knife, split the avocados in half and remove the pit. Slice the flesh into slices while it is still in the shell. Using a spoon, scoop the slices out of the shell and arrange them on a plate.

Sprinkle the herbs over the top. Season with salt and drizzle the lemon juice over the top as well. Pour the garlic and turmeric sizzle over the salad. For additional flavor, consider grated ginger or other ground spices, like cumin or coriander, to the mix. Sesame seeds will add a nice crunch if you have some around.  

Kids Can Cook Tips: Younger kids can help prepare the herbs by washing and tearing them into bite-size pieces and measuring the oil and juice. Older kids with knife skills can slice the avocado, the lemon, and the garlic.
