Cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch thick slices, making sure to keep the original shape of the avocado as you cut. Press down and away lightly on the cut avocado to fan the slices out like a hand of cards. Do the same with the remaining avocado halves. (To prevent the fruit from browning while you work, place a small piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the avocado.)
