Ham, cheese & pear salad image

Whip up this ham, ricotta, pear, rocket and couscous salad in just 15 minutes. Serving two, it's a lovely summer lunch or speedy balanced supper

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Lunch, Supper

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

100g couscous
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp honey
80g baby spinach
60g rocket
2 small pears, cored, quartered and finely sliced
50g ricotta
1⁄2 small bunch of chives, finely sliced
1 lemon, zested
4 thin slices of ham, shredded

Steps:

  • Tip the couscous into a heatproof bowl and pour over 140ml boiling water from the kettle. Cover and leave for 4 mins. Meanwhile, whisk the olive oil, mustard, vinegar and honey together in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Toss the spinach, rocket and pears with the dressing. Fluff the couscous with a fork, then mix into the salad while still warm (this will wilt the greens slightly). Divide between two plates.
  • Combine the ricotta and 2 tbsp water with most of the chives and the lemon zest. Top the salad with spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture, the ham and remaining chives. Finish with a grinding of black pepper, if you like.

Tips:

  • To ensure the ham steak is cooked evenly throughout, use a meat thermometer to check its internal temperature. It should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
  • For a sweeter flavor, use ripe pears. Bosc pears are a good choice as they hold their shape well when cooked.
  • To prevent the pears from browning, toss them in a mixture of lemon juice and water before cooking.
  • If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar.
  • To add a bit of extra flavor to the dish, sprinkle some chopped fresh herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, over the pears before baking.

Conclusion:

Pear-Topped Ham Steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The sweet pears and tangy balsamic vinegar complement the savory ham steak perfectly. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give Pear-Topped Ham Steak a try.
