METHOD
Heat tablespoon of olive oil in non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add half the Parma ham pieces, sprinkle with ground black pepper and fry for 1 minute till crisp. Set aside and fry the rest. Place on kitchen paper to soak up excess fat. Heat remaining olive oil and add tomatoes, basil and lemon juice. Warm gently for about 30 seconds. Arrange salad on 4 plates. Divide avocado slices between them. Sprinkle on crispy ham and drizzle with tomato and basil sauce. Serve with warm French bread.
