1 large sourdough baguette, sliced

1 large avocado, diced

120g roasted red capsicum, sliced

½ lemon, zest and juice

Tip: For homemade roasted capsicum, remove skin from capsicum by baking in a hot oven at 200C for 15 to 20 minutes or until the skin is blackened and blistered.

Remove from oven, cover with a metal bowl to create steam, allow to cool, peel off skin, cut in half and remove seeds then cut into strips.

You can use prepared char-grilled capsicum available at your supermarket or deli.

Variation: Top with cocktail sauce if desired.
