2 avocados, halved and skin removed
1 lemon, juiced
3 Roma tomatoes, quartered, deseeded, finely diced
1/2 bunch shallots, finely sliced
1 Lebanese cucumber, halved lengthways, deseeded, finely diced
¼ cup basil leaves, roughly chopped

1/2 cup baby black olives
Dressing:
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Combine dressing ingredients in a small jar with lid and shake well.
Place the tomato, shallots, cucumber and basil in a small bowl; add the dressing and mix to combine.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the avocado halves. Use a small knife to remove a 2-3mm slice of the rounded side of the avocado half. Place the avocado halves on serving plates. Divide the tomato salad equally among the 4 avocado halves. Garnish with rocket leaves and black olives.
