Turkey basil salad

A light lunch that I had a sampling of for tea, and it works rather nicely.

* 2 - 3 romaine lettuce leaves
* Handful baby spinach leaf
* 6 - 8 slices cucumber
* 1 - 2 tbsp finely sliced red chicory
* 1 heaped tbsp cubed sweet pickled beetroot
* 1 slice roast turkey, cut into short diagonal slithers
* 5 - 6 leaves of fresh basil, finely sliced
* 1 tsp mayonnaise
* 1 tsp lemon juice
* Black pepper

    Mix up spinach, lettuce and chicory in a dish, or on a plate (the dish allows for later mixing more readily.) Arrange cucumber, turkey and beetroot over leaves. In a separate bowl mix up mayonnaise, lemon juice, black pepper and basil, then drizzle over salad.
