Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Baby potatoes
- 200 g Asparagus
- 200 g Cooked ham
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 1.5 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1.5 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Water
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes and place them into a large pot. Cover them with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
Trim the tough ends off the asparagus spears. Bring a small pot of water to a boil and blanch the asparagus for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking. Pat dry and cut into 2-inch pieces.
Cut the cooked ham into small bite-sized cubes or strips and set aside.
Finely dice the red onion and chop the fresh parsley.
In a small bowl or jar, prepare the honey mustard dressing by whisking together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, water, salt, and black pepper until smooth and emulsified.
Once the potatoes have cooled enough to handle, cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, asparagus, ham, red onion, and parsley. Pour the honey mustard dressing over the ingredients and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with a sprig of parsley if desired. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Enjoy!
