Salad with ham and beans, cheese and crackers

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a salad with ham and beans, cheese and crackers? Prepare the specified ingredients. Take the beans red, canned. Cheese is hard, what you like or what you have at home. I have rye crackers with salt, you can take them with your favorite flavor, then the salad will have a spicy note. Semi-smoked ham, can be replaced with sausage. I take dill and parsley from the greens, but any one you like will do.

2. Step 2:

   

   Beans, if desired, can be boiled by yourself, but it is much faster and more convenient to take ready-made. Choose high-quality canned food from a proven manufacturer. Carefully open the tin of canned beans. Drain the liquid by dropping the beans into a colander. Rinse it in a colander under running water and leave it for a while to drain the water. Then put the beans in a deep salad bowl.

3. Step 3:

   

   Open the package with crackers, pour the right amount of crackers into the salad bowl. Add them at this stage only if you plan to serve the salad on the table immediately after cooking. If you are preparing a salad in advance, then add the crackers immediately before serving, otherwise they will get wet and lose their crispness. You can also make crackers yourself.

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel the ham from the film or shell and cut into cubes, they should be small. Fold the sliced ham to the previously prepared ingredients.

6. Step 5:

   

   Grate the hard cheese on a coarse grater and add it to the salad bowl. Choose high-quality cheese, without milk fat substitutes.

7. Step 6:

   

   Prepared fresh herbs, I have dill and parsley, rinse under running water and be sure to dry (excess moisture in the salad is not needed). Finely chop the clean greens and add to the salad with other ingredients. The greens in the salad can be used any way you like. But without it, the salad will fade.

8. Step 7:

   

   Add mayonnaise to the salad, mix thoroughly. Try the salad with salt and add the required amount.

9. Step 8:

   

   Serve the finished salad immediately. It is possible in a common salad bowl, or it is possible in portions, in cream bowls or laid out in a ring. A little garlic will fit perfectly into the salad. The salad is harmonious in itself, it can even act as an independent dish. Boiled potatoes are suitable for a full dinner.
