Ingredients
1small lettuce
¼cucumber
2spring onions
4cherry tomatoes
3sliceslean ham
Instructions
Shred the lettuce and place in a lunch box or bowl. Wash and cube the cucumber then set 12 pieces to one side. Add the remaining cucumber to the lettuce. Wash and slice the spring onions and add to the lettuce.
Cut each slice of ham in half, then fold each half to make thin strips of ham. Roll the strips up at a slight angle to form simple roses, then push in a cocktail stick to hold them together. Thread 2 piece of cucumber onto each cocktail stick, one on each side of the ham rose to help hold it in place.
Arrange the ham roses over the top of the salad. Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes and arrange on top of the salad between the ham roses.
Notes
I left our salad plain but you can add any salad dressing of your choice if wanted - just toss through before topping with the ham roses.
