ASPARAGUS, HAM, AND POACHED EGG SALAD



Asparagus, Ham, and Poached Egg Salad image

On an afternoon in May, a favorite Provençal bistro served us this utterly delicious and totally beautiful spring salad of blanched asparagus, a perfect poached egg draped with a shiny, fragrant slice of ham from the French Basque region, and a tangle of soft greens.

Provided by Patricia Wells

Categories     HarperCollins     Salad     Asparagus     Ham     Egg     Chive     Lettuce     Poach     Lunch     Brunch     Spring

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons coarse sea salt
16 green asparagus spears (1 pound), trimmed
4 ultra-fresh large eggs
1 tablespoon distilled vinegar
4 cups torn soft greens, such as buttercrunch lettuce
1/4 cup minced fresh chives
Lemon and Olive Oil Dressing
4 thin slices top-quality ham
Fine sea salt
Coarse, freshly ground black pepper
Toast, for serving
Special Equipment
5-quart pasta pot fitted with a colander; 4 ramekins or small cups ; a flat, fine-mesh sieve or a large slotted spoon

Steps:

  • Prepare a large bowl of ice water.
  • Fill the pasta pot with 3 quarts of water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the coarse salt and the asparagus. Blanch, uncovered, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. (Cooking time will vary according to the size and tenderness of the asparagus.) Immediately remove the colander from the water, letting the water drain from the asparagus. Plunge the asparagus into the ice water so they cool down as quickly as possible and retain their crispness and bright green color. (The asparagus will cool in 1 to 2 minutes. After that, they will soften and begin to lose crispness and flavor.) Drain the asparagus and wrap it in a thick kitchen towel to dry. (Do not cook the asparagus in advance or it will lose its crispness.)
  • Break each egg into a ramekin or small cup. Set aside. In a large, shallow saucepan, bring 2 inches of water to a boil. Add the vinegar. One by one, bring the edge of a ramekin or cup level with the surface of the water and slide the egg in gently. Turn off the heat and cover the pan. Poach the eggs until the whites are firm but the yolks are still runny and are covered with a thin, translucent layer of white, about 3 minutes.
  • With the sieve or slotted spoon, carefully lift the eggs from the water and transfer them to several thicknesses of paper towels.
  • Place the salad greens and chives in a large salad bowl. Toss with just enough dressing to coat the greens lightly and evenly.
  • Place the asparagus on a large plate and add just enough dressing to lightly coat the spears. Roll the asparagus in the dressing.
  • Arrange the dressed greens at one side of each of 4 large dinner plates. (Rectangular plates are particularly beautiful here.) Carefully place a poached egg alongside. Arrange 4 asparagus spears next to the eggs. Carefully drape a slice of ham over each of the poached eggs. Season the greens lightly with fine sea salt and generously with pepper. Sprinkle with chives. Serve with the toast.

PARTY HAM & EGG SALAD SANDWICHES



Party Ham & Egg Salad Sandwiches image

A fun twist on ham and eggs! I loved both these spreads. The egg salad is creamy and the ham salad has a touch of crunchiness thanks to the celery. The presentation is lovely too thanks to the two different breads. These would be great served at a luncheon or as an appetizer at a holiday party.

LITE HAM EGG AND POTATO SALAD



Lite Ham Egg and Potato Salad image

I came up with recipe when following the CSIRO Total Wellbeing diet. It's really easy to prepare and tastes great! For those on CSIRO Diet the points are: 1 Bread (Potato), 1 protein (egg/ham) and 1-1/2 vegetables (depending on size of side salad).

Provided by asqui

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium potatoes
2 spring onions or 2 scallions
1 (100 g) ham steaks
2 eggs
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 -2 tablespoon water
1 -2 tablespoon white vinegar

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to the boil and boil potatoes for 15 minutes.
  • Add eggs to the pot.
  • Continue to boil the eggs and potatoes for another 15 minutes or until the potatoes are nicely cooked through. A skewer should pass easily through the centre of the potatoes.
  • Allow to cool. The above can be done the night before and the eggs and potatoes refrigerated overnight.
  • Start your char-grill or pan heating up, spray lightly with oil. A grill with a bit of charcoal or character is best, as it adds a more "barbequed" flavour to the ham.
  • Meanwhile, dice the cooled boiled potatoes into 1cm cubes.
  • Peel the boiled eggs and chop them lengthways in half and then cut each half across into slices. Add to potatoes.
  • Finely chop and add the spring onions/scallions.
  • Once the grill or pan is heated, add the ham steak and cook until heated through and a little charred.
  • Remove the steak from heat and allow to cool, slightly. Dice into even cubes and add.
  • In a small bowl mix together lemon juice, mayonnaise, mustard and vinegar. Add water until the dressing reaches the desirable consistency.
  • Pour dressing over other ingredients, season with salt/pepper, toss and divide evenly onto plates.
  • Serve with a lighter side salad such as cherry tomatoes, baby spinach and cucumber.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your ham egg salad.
  • Hard-boil your eggs perfectly: Overcooked eggs will be dry and crumbly, while undercooked eggs will be runny. For the perfect hard-boiled egg, place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and remove from heat. Let stand for 9-10 minutes, then drain and immediately place the eggs in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Choose the right type of ham: There are many different types of ham available, so choose one that you enjoy the flavor of. A good option is a deli-sliced ham that is not too salty.
  • Chop the ham and eggs finely: This will help the salad to come together nicely and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the salad: Overmixing will make the salad tough. Just gently fold the ingredients together until they are combined.
  • Season the salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bit of mayonnaise or sour cream for extra richness.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld together and make the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Ham egg salad is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, it's perfect for a quick lunch, a light dinner, or a picnic. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying meal, give ham egg salad a try.
