In a small jar with a lid, combine 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons black olive paste, 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until well emulsified.

3. Gently slice each avocado crosswise into thin slices, being careful to keep the slices connected at the base.
