Ham and Beetroot Salad

This is a perfect quick lunch meal that has a good level of protein, some healthy fat and at least three portions of vegetables. I make this with ham for my hubby and but I prefer smoked salmon so swap it for me!

I love a dressing on my salad, and by adding the horseradish it has a lovely zing, if you don’t eat dairy then swap then you can use soya yoghurt.

Ingredients – makes 2

  • 100g frozen peas
  • 175g beetroot cubed
  • 2 spring onions thinly sliced
  • 2 baby gem lettuce sliced
  • 100g ham
  • 2 tsp yogurt or creme fraiche
  • 2 tsp horseradish sauce

Instructions

  1. Run the peas under a hot tap for a few minutes, drain and set to one side
  2. Divide salad leaves between two bowls and top with the peas and beetroot.
  3. Mix the yogurt and horseradish together to make a dressing (add a splash of water if needed), and drizzle over the salad.
  4. Lay the ham on top and sprinkle with spring onions.

If you are making this for a packed lunch then put the dressing in a little bowl and add it before serving.

I’d love it if you shared a picture of your lunch with me, why not connect on instagram?
