GERMAN-STYLE POTATO AND HAM SALAD

Steps:

• Steam potatoes in a vegetable steamer set over 1 inch of boiling water in a wide 4- to 5-quart pot, covered, until tender when pierced with a paring knife, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.
• Meanwhile, cook asparagus in a wide 4- to 5-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, until just tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer asparagus with tongs to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, then drain and pat dry. Cut off and reserve tips, then cut stalks into 1-inch pieces. Add tips and stalks to a large bowl.
• Cook bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, reserving bacon drippings in skillet.
• Once potatoes have cooled to warm, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Add to bowl with asparagus, along with bacon, ham, celery, onion, parsley, and pickle.
• Return skillet with bacon drippings to moderately high heat. Add oil, then whisk in vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 30 seconds. Immediately pour hot dressing over potato salad and toss to coat.

LITE HAM EGG AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to the boil and boil potatoes for 15 minutes.
• Add eggs to the pot.
• 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.
• Allow to cool. The above can be done the night before and the eggs and potatoes refrigerated overnight.
• 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.
• Meanwhile, dice the cooled boiled potatoes into 1cm cubes.
• Peel the boiled eggs and chop them lengthways in half and then cut each half across into slices. Add to potatoes.
• Finely chop and add the spring onions/scallions.
• Once the grill or pan is heated, add the ham steak and cook until heated through and a little charred.
• Remove the steak from heat and allow to cool, slightly. Dice into even cubes and add.
• In a small bowl mix together lemon juice, mayonnaise, mustard and vinegar. Add water until the dressing reaches the desirable consistency.
• Pour dressing over other ingredients, season with salt/pepper, toss and divide evenly onto plates.
• Serve with a lighter side salad such as cherry tomatoes, baby spinach and cucumber.
