Tasty, quick, easy and very healthy. I use a wider variety of salad leaves and prefer the smoked mackeral variation to the ham making this lovely salad even more healthy. I always feel full up when I have eaten it too! Great recipe!

Used rocket instead of iceburg, soya beans instead of peas. I don't like horseradish so I mixed in to the yogurt some grain mustard and a dash of tobasco for the spiceness. Filled me more than I thought it would.

Really easy to do and have tried with a variety of salad leaves instead of iceburg. Delicious in a lunch box too.

This is a delicious salad. Easy to prepare and the yoghurt/ horseradish dressing brings the flavours together perfectly. I used mixed salad leaves and added roasted cauliflower for an extra nutty taste. I will definitely make this again!

Was ok but a little bland, perhaps more horseradish would have given it more 'zing', or as another reviewer mentioned, a stronger leaf such as rocker. Made mine with thick sliced ham which I think was a good idea as the taste of wafer thin might have got a bit lost.

This recipe is delicious, after just eating the usual boring salads, I added a 100g's of marinated chicken breast and had it as a main meal. I used garlic and chilli powder to my chicken. Husband loved it too. Great
