Salad with grapefruit, feta & candied parma ham

I found this recipe - or well, sort of - in a lovely new cookbook by a  fellow food blogger:  What Katie Ate. It's an absolutely gorgeus book - food photography is great, and I have several bookmarked recipes for the future. This one was first though - as soon as I read it, I sent husband on a hunt for red grapefruit, and then we had this for lunch.

Salad with grapefruit, feta & candied parma ham
adapted from a recipe by What Katie Ate
serves 2


70 g parma ham
1 tbsp runny honey

150 g mixed salad leaves, cleaned
200 g cherry tomatoes, halved
2 red grapefruits, segmented
handful cashew nuts, toasted
150 g feta cheese

Dressing:
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp wholegrain dijon mustard
salt, pepper

Start by placing the parma ham on a baking sheet, and drizzle with the honey. Bake at 200°C for 6-7 minutes. Take the sheet out and let the ham cool. It should be crisp enough to shatter into little crunchy pieces.

Whisk together the dressing in a small bowl. In a salad bowl, add the salad leaves, cherry tomatoes, grapefruit and cashews, and toss with the dressing. Top with the feta cheese and crispy ham.
