Go Green Picnic Sandwich

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp good quality mayonnaise
• 6 basil leaves
• 1 tsp snipped chives
• 1/2 tsp lemon zest and a squeeze of juice
• 1 avocado, peeled, stoned and sliced
• 4 slices of Allinson’s Scandalous Seeds bread
• 120g fresh mozzarella, sliced
• 2 pickled cucumbers, sliced lengthways
• 4 little gem leaves, shredded
• Sprinkling salad cress

Method

1. For the mayonnaise; blend the mayonnaise, basil, chives, lemon zest and juice with some freshly ground black pepper. If you don’t have a blender, tear the basil leaves and simply stir everything together. Spread over each slice of bread.
2. Layer your sandwich, seasoning as you go, starting with the avocado, then the mozzarella, cucumbers, leaves and a scattering of cress. Wrap in parchment and secure with string or place in a sandwich tin ready for your picnic.
