SPAM and Gruyère Salad with Garlic Croutons - Fab Food 4 All

Many people associate SPAM Chopped Pork and Ham with their school days when it was always served deep fryed and coated in batter. Well times have moved on and there are a whole host of more exciting ways to use this useful store cupboard staple. One such way is in this delicious SPAM Salad with Garlic Croutons and Gruyère! Romaine lettuce is tossed in a garlicky french dressing to which fried Spam and garlic croutons are added and then topped with grated Gruyère cheese.

I made this salad for mine and hubby’s lunch and then kept the rest in the fridge for the children’s dinner. There were clean plates all round I’m happy to say as everyone loved this dish. I think this salad would even be great for a packed lunch and is really easy to eat with just a fork!

    I love the sound of this – I haven’t tried it since school so may just have to give it a bash! Mind you, you had me at garlicky croutons!
