Lite Ham Egg and Potato Salad image

I came up with recipe when following the CSIRO Total Wellbeing diet. It's really easy to prepare and tastes great! For those on CSIRO Diet the points are: 1 Bread (Potato), 1 protein (egg/ham) and 1-1/2 vegetables (depending on size of side salad).

Time 45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium potatoes
2 spring onions or 2 scallions
1 (100 g) ham steaks
2 eggs
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 -2 tablespoon water
1 -2 tablespoon white vinegar

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.

This recipe is a great base recipe. I like to add other ingredients to it, such as chopped celery, carrots, or peas.

I love that this salad is made with red potatoes. They hold their shape better than russet potatoes, so the salad doesn't get mushy.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have some leftover ham after Easter, and this is a delicious way to use it up.

This salad was a total disaster! The potatoes were undercooked and the eggs were overcooked. I definitely won't be making this again.

I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This salad was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra mustard and dill pickle relish to give it more flavor.
