Sunday Night Ham Slaw Supper

Hello retro food lovers! Today we are taking a step back into one of my favourite vintage cookbooks, Salads for All Seasons by Rosemary Mayne Wilson.  I last cooked from this book way back in 2014.  I chose a Sunday Night Ham Slaw Supper as I will be posting this on a Sunday. Also, because I love the word supper.  It seems much cozier than the word dinner.  

The Sunday night ham slaw is such a good idea!  You know that feeling after a big Sunday roast when you feel you might never need to eat again?  Except a good few hours later you start to think that maybe a little something-something might be nice?  Well this is that something. A little salad, some cold meat, a bread roll and butter.  Enough to stave off the pangs, not enough to fill you up too much.  

I used ham as my meat of choice but this would be equally nice with leftover roast chicken or beef.  It would also be perfect with leftover grilled salmon, or for the vegetarians amongst us, some slices of avocado or as a filling for a baked potato.  I also did not mix my ham into the slaw as per the recipe but had it on the side. I thought the ham mixed in with the slaw might not look great.  It tasted great though and, with the bread on the plate was just crying out to be made into a sandwich!
