You’ll need:

1 small ripe avocado
1 lemon, juiced
2 tbls extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper

5 thin medium sized slices of sourdough bread
2 tbls olive oil

50g mixed radishes, thinly sliced
½ red onion, thinly sliced
1 bunch watercress picked

What to do:

Preheat the oven to 180°C

While you are waiting for the oven to warm up, cut the avocado in half, remove the stone, scoop out the flesh and place in a small bowl. Lightly mash with a fork, then add the lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil, season then set aside.

Place the sourdough slices on a large baking tray, drizzle over the olive oil, then put in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until crispy and toasted, remove from the oven and leave to cool for 5 minutes.

Once cooled break each piece of toast into 4 pieces, then spread with the avocado and top with radish, red onion and watercress. Serve at once.
