    Cook’s tips

    You can use Parma or Serrano ham in this salad. For extra convenience, use ready-cooked beetroot and serve the salad cold.

    Drinks recommendation

    Blue cheese works brilliantly with a bright Sauvignon Blanc, and I can think of nothing better with this salad than the zesty Rabbit Row Sauvignon Blanc 2010, Marlborough, New Zealand.
