    Recipe




    Make up the dressing by putting all the dressing ingredients into a jar and shaking it well. The dressing can be made up well in advance.

    Choose two attractive plates or bowls and start to assemble the salad.

    Place the potatoes on the plate/bowl first and then arrange the strips of ham & asparagus spears over the top - gently mix through to "just" mingle the ingredients together.

    Next, scatter the minced/finely diced red onion over and then the sliced cornichons - if you are using them.

    Pour over the honey & mustard dressing - giving the salad a liberal dousing!

    Season and scatter the chopped chives and/or the chopped chervil over the top.

    Serve with crusty bread & a glass of crisp, chilled white Chablis or Chardonnay!


    Optional ideas:.

    You could also add peas, broad beans, olives or crispy bacon!
