- 2 pieces radishes

Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Slice the cucumber and red bell pepper into thin strips. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, and thinly slice the red onion and radishes.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado using a fork until smooth.
To the mashed avocado, add olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, and mustard. Mix until well combined to create a creamy spread.
Lay out two large lettuce leaves on a clean cutting board for each serving.
Spread half of the avocado mixture evenly across the middle of each lettuce leaf.
Layer the sliced cucumber, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, red onion, radishes, and fresh basil leaves over the avocado spread.
Place another lettuce leaf on top of the vegetables to form the sandwich.
Gently wrap each sandwich with parchment paper or secure with a toothpick for easier handling.
