Dressed Up Avocados
These thinly sliced avocados are simply dressed and quick and easy to pull together. They're a perfect side dish for breakfast, brunch, or dinner! NOTE: Quantities are very adjustable, this recipe is easy to eyeball and doesn't need to be exact. For serving size, imagine how much avocado one single person might eat. For example, if you have small avocados I would maybe estimate 1/2 avocado per person and for large/XL avocados with a lot of other food on the table you might be able to serve 3-4 per avocado.

Instructions
