Sure a barbecue on Australia Day is all very well but you'll also be needing something fresh and healthy to balance out all those chops and snags. These crisp green-and-gold lettuce wraps of mango, cucumber, avocado and mint in a sesame and sweet chilli vinaigrette celebrate everything we love about Australia in summer.
