    Method

    • Cut ham off the bone and slice into pieces about 2cm x 1cm.
    • Lightly fry ham pieces in a pan with a dash of olive oil.
    • While the ham is frying, thinly slice half a red onion.
    • Slice a mango into 1cm slices.
    • Wash and dry 4 handfuls of baby spinach.
    • Roughly chop half a cup of natural almonds, toss into the pan with the ham for 2 minutes. Stir so they don’t burn.

    Tips and Tricks

    • Use up leftover ham in this crunchy salad. Almonds can be replaced with walnuts, and ham can be replaced with turkey.

    • A great way to use up extra spinach is to throw it into a smoothie for breakfast – your body will thank you for the extra nutrition and you wont be able to taste the difference.

    • Older almonds are still fine to eat – roasting them in a low oven will crisp them up and you won’t even notice the difference.
