  • Place the cut side of the avocados down on the grill, and cook until grill marks form, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Place the feta cheese into a small microwave-safe bowl, and microwave until it begins to warm and soften, about 10-15 seconds. Transfer it to a small food processor and blend it with the remaining sauce ingredients. You'll need to stop and scrape down the sides while blending to make sure everything gets smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt.
  • Drizzle the sauce evenly across the grilled avocados, squeeze fresh lemon juice over top (optional), and enjoy eating them right out of the shell!
