- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 medium avocado
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
Begin by preparing your ingredients: halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the cucumber and red onion, and dice the red bell pepper and avocado.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until you achieve a well-emulsified dressing.
In a large salad bowl, add the mixed lettuce leaves to create the base layer of your salad.
Top the lettuce with the prepared cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion. Scatter the diced avocado over the top.
Cut the cooked, sliced ham into bite-sized pieces and distribute evenly over the salad.
Drizzle the salad dressing over the top of the salad. Gently toss all the ingredients together to combine, ensuring everything is well coated with the dressing.
Serve the salad immediately, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.
