Iberian Ham with Orange and Avocado Salad

A light, fresh, fruity salad topped with exquisite Iberian ham is a luxurious tapas dish. When lightly cooked, the intense nutty flavours of the ham really come into play like never before and combined with your favourite fruit and salad ingredients you can create your own gourmet Spanish treat.

You will need:

1 sweet orange, peeled and sliced
1 avocado stoned, peeled and sliced
Half cucumber, sliced
2 strawberries, sliced
Pine nuts, roughly chopped
Extra virgin olive oil
4 - 5 slices Iberian bellota ham, cut into strips

Method

• Arrange the salad ingredients on a large serving plate and drizzle with olive oil.

• Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan and lightly toast the Iberian ham slices until they begin to go crispy and curl at the edges.

• Arrange the ham on top of the salad and add a sprinkle of the pine nuts.

• Serve as a tapas style salad with a chilled white Rioja for any special treat.
