Preparation:

Sprinkle with caraway, sesame or pizza spice mixture. Cut dough in 1.5 – 2 cm wide strips. Twist strips carefully and place them side by side on a baking tray, lined with baking paper. Bake at 180 °C in a preheated oven until crispy (15 – 20 minutes).
- Halve avocado and remove core. Spoon out the pulp an mash it with a fork until the mass becomes a homogenous puree.
- Mix olive oil, sweet mustard, grated lemon rind and freshly squeezed lemon juice (of a half lemon). Fold in the avocado puree and stir thoroughly with a whisk. Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, chili powder and fresh coriander.
- Wash lettuce thoroughly and cut into bite-size pieces. Wash cucumber and cut in rings or thin sticks (with or without peel – your choice). Wash cherry tomatoes and cut into quarters.Give cucumber and tomatoes in a bowl. Pour avocado salad cream over the mixed salad. Mix thoroughly and serve with the hot spicy sticks out of the oven.
