This is a delicious way to use up leftover turkey and ham after the Christmas festivities. It works really well on Boxing day along with other salads and baked potatoes.
250 g cooked carved leg ham, sliced into pieces
250 g cooked carved turkey, sliced into pieces
½ cucumber
1 large ripe mango
grated rind and juice of 1 lemon or lime
150 ml vegetable oil
handful of coriander sprigs
3 spring onion, finely chopped
A pinch of Salt
Some ground Black peppercorns

Halve the cucumber lengthways, then carefully remove the seeds with a teaspoon. Slice the cucumber flesh into thin slices.
2
Cut down either side of the mango stone. Cut away the flesh from the skin and place in a food processor, along with the grated lime or lemon and strained juice. Whizz and whilst the motor is running add the oil until the consistency is smooth.

Pour the prepared mango dressing into a large bowl. Add the turkey and ham, cucumber, coriander and finely chopped spring onions and season to taste.
