Iberico ham with salad

Method

1. Carefully pick over the salad leaves, discarding any that are damaged or discoloured. Place in a large bowl and toss with the chervil, parsley and chives.

2. Whisk the olive oil with the vinegar. Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Pour over the salad leaves and herbs and toss well.

3. Pile the salad into a mound in the centre of a large serving platter. Arrange the slices of ham around it, scrunching it loosely into rosettes if liked. Grind over black pepper to taste before serving.
