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.
