Ham, egg & pea shoot salad

This is a lovely quick and easy salad, lovely with fresh crusty bread, or if you're feeling naughty, a big bowl of chips!

Serves: 2
Preparation and cooking time: 15 minutes

What you need:

• 3 eggs
• 4 slices Serrano Ham
• 50g Pea Shoots (1 pack)
• 1tsp Lemon Juice
• 1 tsp Dijon Mustard

What you do:

1. Boil a large pan of water. Place the eggs into the boiling water for 7-8 minutes for a soft boiled egg, 10 minutes for a hard boiled egg. Remove from the pan and leave to cool. Once you can handle them, remove the shells and cut in half.
2. Make the dressing by thoroughly combining the lemon juice, Dijon mustard and olive oil. Season to taste.
3. Arrange the pea shoots, slices of ham and halved eggs on a platter and drizzle with the dressing.
