Avocado with Lemon and Olive Oil

Serve with toasted rustic bread, and let guests spread the avocado on it as they would butter.  Bread toasted on the grill is even better.  Serves about 4.

Ingredients
2 ripe Hass avocados
2 T. extra virgin olive oil, or to taste
2 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions
Halve the avocados lengthwise.  Twist halves to separate them, and remove pits.  Run a large spoon between the flesh and skin, scooping out the flesh in one piece; discard skins.  Slice into wedges, and place avocados on a serving platter.  Drizzle with oil and lemon juice.  Season with salt and pepper.  Serve at room temp.
