Lite Ham Egg and Potato Salad

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to the boil and boil potatoes for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Add eggs to the pot.

Step 3

Continue to boil the eggs and potatoes for another 15 minutes or until the potatoes are nicely cooked through. A skewer should pass easily through the centre of the potatoes.

Step 4

Allow to cool. The above can be done the night before and the eggs and potatoes refrigerated overnight.

Step 5

Start your char-grill or pan heating up, spray lightly with oil. A grill with a bit of charcoal or character is best, as it adds a more "barbequed" flavour to the ham.

Step 6

Meanwhile, dice the cooled boiled potatoes into 1cm cubes.

Step 7

Peel the boiled eggs and chop them lengthways in half and then cut each half across into slices. Add to potatoes.

Step 8

Finely chop and add the spring onions/scallions.

Step 9

Once the grill or pan is heated, add the ham steak and cook until heated through and a little charred.

Step 10

Remove the steak from heat and allow to cool, slightly. Dice into even cubes and add.

Step 11

In a small bowl mix together lemon juice, mayonnaise, mustard and vinegar. Add water until the dressing reaches the desirable consistency.

Step 12

Pour dressing over other ingredients, season with salt/pepper, toss and divide evenly onto plates.

Step 13

Serve with a lighter side salad such as cherry tomatoes, baby spinach and cucumber.
