2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (plus more for the grill)
1 clove garlic (grated)
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Step 2: Lightly drizzle the avocado quarters with oil. Grill them, turning once, until you see grill marks on the flesh side and the avocados have slightly softened, about 2 minutes per side.
Step 3: Scoop out the avocado flesh onto a plate. Give the vinaigrette a quick whisk, then drizzle it over the avocados. Garnish with sea salt and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy your grilled avocado delight!
