In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice until well combined.
Pour the olive oil and lemon juice mixture over the avocado and tomato mixture.
Season the salad with salt and black pepper. Gently toss all the ingredients together to ensure they are evenly coated with the dressing.
