Peach and Parma Ham Salad – Super Simple Recipe 18

So research (although not authoritative or quantifiable) tells me you want easy and super simple for some of your meals, especially during the week. Here is one that I use frequently and since time is of the essence I am not going to spout on too long about it – save to say if you don’t care for Parma ham then use another deli type one instead that you do – more than simples!

 

PEACH AND PARMA HAM SALAD 

Ingredients

METRIC/US

2 handfuls salad leaves (I used a superfood variety from Aldi)

1 courgette, spiralised or about a handful of ready prepared courgetti

100 g/4 oz light feta, cut into chunks

10 cherry baby tomatoes, halved

4 slices Parma ham

2 ripe peaches, each cut into 8 wedges

low-fat cooking spray or mist

1 tsp chopped fresh thyme

salt and freshly ground black pepper

drizzle of balsamic dressing or other fat-free or low-fat dressing of choice

 

Method

1.  Divide the salad leaves, courgette, feta, tomatoes and ham between two (or more) serving plates.
2.  Spritz the peach wedges with low-fat cooking spray or mist. Heat a griddle pan until hot, add the peach wedges and cook until just tinged brown, turning over once – just a couple of minutes.
3.  Scatter the peach wedges over the salad, season to taste and drizzle with dressing to serve.
