Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Cooked ham
- 4 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 cup Fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 cup Seedless grapes
- 1 cup Strawberries
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 handful Pecans or almonds (optional)
- 0.5 cup Honey mustard dressing
- to taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the fresh ingredients. Wash the salad greens thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Slice the cooked ham into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
Cut the pineapple into small chunks if using fresh fruit, or drain canned pineapple chunks well if using pre-cut fruit.
Slice the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size, and wash the seedless grapes. You can cut the grapes in half if preferred.
Peel the cucumber if desired, and slice it into thin rounds or half-moons.
In a large salad bowl, layer the mixed greens as a base, then evenly distribute the ham strips, pineapple chunks, grapes, strawberry slices, and cucumber.
If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans or almonds across the top of the salad for added crunch and flavor.
Drizzle the honey mustard dressing evenly over the salad. Season lightly with salt and pepper to taste.
Gently toss the salad to coat the ingredients with the dressing, or serve it with the dressing on the side for individual portions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Ham and Fruit Salad!
