Seems simple to me. 1/2 avocado out of the shell. Place ex-pit side
down. and slice horizontally 1/8" to 1/4" or whatever you can manage.
Lift the sliced half onto a plate. Gently spread it out a bit so that
the half is no longer a half-oval solid, but a series of thin slices
-- a la a fanned-out strawberry. Dress and garnish as mentioned. Oh,
jeez, I'm hungry.
