Salat með mozzarella, jarðarberjum og stökkri skinku

Salad with mozzarella, strawberries and crispy ham

Even though our new strawberry cookbook has been written for a while, we are somehow still in strawberry mode - and so for our wedding anniversary last week I picked out and tried out new Icelandic strawberry dishes as a special dinner.

The main course was this salad with strawberries, mozzarella, avocado and crispy ham. For the children there was also a herb baguette with the salad, so that everyone involved was full!

Ingredients for 2 servings

4 - 6 slices of Parma ham

200 g mixed leaf lettuce

250 g strawberries

1 avocado

150 g mozzarella pearls

2 Tbsp sour cream

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 Tbsp lemon juice

1 Tbsp honey

salt and pepper

Preparation​

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (resp. 180 °C) upper-lower heat.

Place the ham on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake until crispy at 350 °F (resp. 180 °C) upper and lower heat for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Wash and pick the lettuce.

Wash and clean the strawberries and cut them into small pieces.

Carefully cut the avocado in half around the core, remove it from the shell with a spoon, remove the core and chop the flesh into small pieces.

Place the lettuce, strawberries, avocado and mozzarella pearls in a large bowl.

Cut the crispy baked ham into small pieces and add to the other ingredients.

To make the sauce, mix the sour cream with the olive oil, lemon juice and honey in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Then pour the thoroughly mixed sauce over the salad.

Stir the salad again and then serve immediately while the crispy ham is still a little warm.

Bon appetit!
