Perfect
before a barbeque, this delectable warm salad is a filler in itself. Served
with a robust dressing of honey-mustard-balsamic; the asparagus & Parma ham brings
in a crunch. Together with the other ingredients it’s a beautiful medley of
colours and taste.
Grilled
asparagus and Parma ham salad
(Serves 2)
Ingredients
Asparagus 1
bunch, trimmed
Potatoes around
6 quarters (from 3 small potatoes)
Eggs 3
Cress ½
bunch
Spring Onion ½
bunch
Honey 2 tsp (Runny honey)
Balsamic vinegar 1
tbsp
Whole grain mustard paste ½ tsp
Olive oil 2 tbsp
Method:
Set the potato quarters to boil until done. Drain and
keep warm.
Boil the eggs for about 7 minutes. De-shell and keep
warm.
While things are on the boil- do up the salad
dressing. In to a mixing bowl, tip in the balsamic vinegar, honey and whole
grain mustard paste. Give it a nice mix until all ingredients are amalgamated into
one. Last, pour in the oil and whisk again. Keep aside for latter use.
Drizzle a few drops oil on to the asparagus and line them
in a griddle. Set on high heat cook until cooked to your liking.
In the same pan, place the ham slices and cook both
sides until brown and crispy. Slightly crumble before serving
To assemble the salad: take 2 boiled eggs and cut them
into quarters. With the remaining egg: coarsely mash. On to your salad bowl: dish
in the boiled potatoes, asparagus, mashed egg. Sprinkle some spring onion. Give
it a nice mix. Top it up with the egg quarters and the broken bits of crisp
ham. Bring on the salad dressing and give it a nice whisk… drizzle liberally
over the salad. Serve warm.
