What you will need

  • Salad: 1 small cos lettuce, 2 cups rocket, 350g Hellers honey baked ham or leftover Christmas ham, 600 - 800g new potatoes - halved, 100g creamy blue cheese, fresh herbs

Instructions

  1. Salad: Cook the new potatoes (boiled or roasted), and toss with half the dressing.
  2. Dressing: Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl.
  3. Honey walnuts: Place the walnuts on a baking tray and toast the walnuts in a 160°C oven for 15 minutes or until lightly toasted.
  4. Heat the butter and honey in a small saucepan over a medium heat. When bubbling, add the toasted walnuts and stir until the honey is caramelised – about 2 - 3 minutes. Tip the walnut mixture on to a piece of baking paper and cool. Break up or chop the set mixture when ready to serve.
