Ham Sandwich with Colored Pepper Vinaigrette (Bocata de jamón dulce con vinagreta de pimientos)

This is a very simple sandwich to make but full of flavor, from the smokiness of the ham and the acidity of the vinaigrette to the buttery texture of the lettuce.

Ingredients:

1/4 green pepper finely chopped or cut in julienne

1/4 yellow pepper finely chopped or cut in julienne

1/4 red pepper finely chopped or cut in julienne

1/2 red onion finely chopped

1 teaspoon mustard (optional)

olive oil

wine or sherry vinegar 

smoked ham slices

butter lettuce

baguette

Mix the peppers, onion, vinegar and olive oil in a bowl.  If you like you can add a teaspoon of mustard.

Make the vinaigrette a couple of hours before you use it and keep in the refrigerator. Open the bread and layer the sandwich with vinaigrette, lettuce, ham and more vinaigrette.
