Chef's Tips

For a vegetarian option, replace the ham with cubed halloumi cheese that has been pan-fried or grilled.

Add some chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch and flavour.

The vinaigrette can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Shake well before using.

If you don't have Jersey cabbage, regular green cabbage or savoy cabbage will work as a substitute. You may need to massage it lightly with a little salt to soften it slightly.

Add some pickled onions or gherkins for extra flavor.
