1½ golden shallots, thinly sliced
1 avocado, diced into 2cm pieces
½ long green chilli, thinly sliced
Torn coriander, mint and basil leaves, and extra-virgin olive oil, to serve
Cucumber-lime dressing
⅓ telegraph cucumber, half-peeled
Juice of 2 juicy limes
1 tbsp coarsely chopped coriander leaves
1 tsp honey
