- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 clove garlic, sliced
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Tips
Cooking Tips:
Avocado vs. Air: Rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto exposed flesh of avocado to keep it from turning brown once exposed to air.
Reduce grill sticking by oiling your hot grill with a vegetable oil-soaked paper towel: hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)
