SPRING ASPARAGUS, HAM AND POTATO SALAD - HONEY MUSTARD DRESSING



Spring Asparagus, Ham and Potato Salad - Honey Mustard Dressing image

A light, fresh and very tasty potato salad, which is more of a meal than a side dish! I made this up when I had a few spears of fresh asparagus left, some boiled potatoes and some honey roast ham in the fridge! This recipe/idea is for two people - but it can be increased with ease, hence my listing of the ingredients in numbers, rather than in ounces or grammes! The dressing can be made ahead......and, hopefully it will be warm enough to sit outside and soak up the spring or early summer sun......c'est Parfait!
