Ingredients
Scale

- Chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper in a medium bowl for the marinade.

Notes
Avocados should be sliced just before serving to prevent browning. Store any leftovers separately in airtight containers.
