- Remove top tray and paper, then allow tartines to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, for the Wasabi Avocado dressing, place sugar and 2 Tbsp water in a small pan over low heat, stirring to dissolve sugar.
- Cool, then whiz in a processor with avocado, lime and Namida® Wasabi Paste. Season to taste, then set aside.

- Drizzle with a little Wasabi Avocado dressing just before serving.
I also like these with Wasabi mayonnaise under the Avocado on top of the tart.
