Cut the avocados
Slice each avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Slice each half into 6–8 wedges (or cut into 1/2-inch cubes if preferred). Place avocado pieces in a medium mixing bowl.
Dressing

Mix dressing
In a small bowl or jar, combine 2 tbs extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tbs fresh lemon juice, 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Whisk or shake until emulsified and salt is dissolved.

Serving suggestion
Serve immediately as a bright side dish with grilled proteins, tacos, or toasted bread. If you must hold it for later, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the avocado to minimize browning and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes.
