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:
