HEB ( Ham.Egg.Balsamic)

Salads , when put together with the right dressing , are an absolute treat - also they can be some of the best ways to eat colorful and nutrient-dense foods. A HEB is my all time favorite and is super easy to put together ( almost as easy as throwing things into a bowl ) . It brings beautiful and non hassled flavors onto the table . Also , I like to make it a wholesome meal with the addition of some chunky bread croutons and some feta cheese ( the latter being completely optional )

This HEB salad might sound simple, but it's utterly divine. It’s a lot about simplicity and shows how some thinly sliced Ham and greens, when marinated in balsamic and olive oil dressing for a few minutes can do wonders . It’s bright, it’s crunchy, it’s hydrating & works for any meal for any season .

Give it a try and let me know what you think !

Things you will need ( Makes 01 Adult portion )

• 01 cup of assorted green mix - I used a mix of Arugula and Lettuce leaves

• 1/3 cup cherry tomatoes , sliced in half .

• 01 small onion , cut into rings and separated

• 01 Egg ( Fried and roughly sliced )

• 02 - 03 slices of smoked ham , roughly sliced

• 02 slices of sourdough loaf or simple bread loaf ( Hard toasted and cut up in rough chunks )

• 01 - 02 blobs of fresh feta ( Optional )

For the Dressing

• 01 tbsp Olive Oil

• 02 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar

• 01 tsp Honey

• Salt and Pepper for seasoning

Steps to follow

• Always remember to dry out all the greens on a kitchen towel before you start assembling any salad - Ensure all the greens are completely water free and dry to avoid excess wilt and retain the crunch in your salad. Toss all the ingredients ( Barring the bread and the cheese ) into your salad bowl.

• Combine the dressing ingredients in a small jar and give it a good hearty mix. Toss this dressing onto your salad main ingredients and keep it aside for 2-3 mins for everything to soak in the flavors. Serve , topped with the sourdough croutons and feta.

Once you enjoy this - let me know what you thing of this goodness , this is truly that simple and heart warming :)
