fresh coarse ground black pepper
3 fresh basil leaves
French Dressing
3 tablespoons olive oil

1 garlic clove, roughly chopped

Preparation

French Dressing:
Mix ingredients in a bowl add a pinch of black pepper (it's nice to do this an hour or two before using to allow flavour to develop).
Lay avocado slices in a shallow dish or plate (they use a 15cm sq dish to keep ingredients in neat layers, just like a sandwich but without bread).
Scatter salad leaf mix into dish.
Lay cucumber neatly over one half of the salad leaves.
Arrange crayfish over other half.
Season with salt and pepper.
Pop the three basil leaves on top of the cucumber.
Drizzle the dressing over your no-bread sandwich and enjoy.
