Ingredients

½ small red onion, thinly sliced
750g new potatoes
4 medium free-range eggs
200g mixed salad leaves
180g British ham hock, shredded (widely available)

For the dressing

1 tbsp cider vinegar
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp English mustard
½ tsp clear honey
2 tbsp capers, rinsed and roughly chopped

Method

Put the sliced onion in a bowl of water and set aside while you get on with the salad (soaking removes the sharpness). Bring a large pan of water to the boil, cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes until tender, then drain.
Meanwhile, bring a medium pan of water to a gentle simmer, add the eggs and boil for 7 minutes. Drain and run them under cold water for 2 minutes.
Whisk all the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl and season well. Put the leaves and ham in a large salad bowl, halve the potatoes, then add to the bowl and toss together with the dressing. Peel the eggs, cut into quarters and add to the salad to serve.
