Spam Adventures

This past Saturday morning, I decided it was time to use my can of Spam Light. The English Kitchen posted a warm potato salad with ham recipe and it inspired me to make something similar.  I think she mentioned the mustard dressing being lighter than using mayonnaise.  Here's my recipe and some photos.

Warm Potato Salad with  Mustard Dressing

2 cups of  new potatoes
1/2 to 1 cup of chopped ham (or spam light)
2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables

Mustard dressing 

2 tbs apple cider vinegar
1 tsp dijon mustard
2 tbs olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder


Bring potatoes to a boil in lightly salted water.
After about 10 minutes, add frozen vegetables.
Once it has come to a boil, simmer for a further 3 to 5 minutes and drain

Meanwhile, mix dressing and then combine it with the drained vegetables in a bowl.

I then mixed a couple of chopped spam slices into a scrambled egg mixture
and made Spam Light with Scrambled Eggs.  It would've also made a good omelette.

Finally, I pan fried the remaining spam slices in a few tablespoons of olive oil and these were the best of all!

Here is my brunch platter!
