Step 1:
How to make a salad with ham, tomatoes, crackers and beans? Prepare the ingredients. You can replace ham with carbonade or other smoked meat. Beans are suitable both canned and raw, they will need to be boiled beforehand. It is better to use rye crackers for salad with the taste of ham, meat, bacon, tomato crackers with herbs or ordinary ones without additives are also suitable for this salad. Instead of store-bought ones, you can prepare such crackers by yourself
Step 2:
Put the canned beans in a colander and let the liquid drain. Dry the beans. If you use raw beans, boil them first. How to boil string beans? Boil the water, add a little salt, throw the beans into it without defrosting. Cook for about 3 minutes, then flip into a colander and let the water drain. Cool the beans before adding them to the salad — a salad made from warm ingredients can quickly deteriorate.
Step 3:
Cut the ham into long cubes.
Step 4:
Wash the tomatoes, dry them. Also cut into long cubes.
Step 5:
In a salad bowl, combine ham, tomatoes, string beans and crackers. If the salad is not planned to be served immediately, then it is better not to add crackers. Otherwise, they will get wet and absorb all the salad juice. It is necessary to spread the crackers immediately before serving the salad to the table.
Step 6:
Season the salad with mayonnaise.
Step 7:
Mix everything.
Step 8:
Immediately serve the salad to the table until the crackers are soaked. Bon appetit!

You can add garlic to the salad, passed through the press. I do not add, as the taste of garlic easily overlaps the taste of ham.

Ham is quite tender, but at the same time salty and low-fat, which makes it a convenient ingredient even for low-calorie salads with vegetables.

If you sort through a lot of delicious festive and everyday salads, then a salad with ham can honestly rank among the easiest to prepare. Along with chicken fillet, ham is one of the most popular salad products. On holidays, we remember about this salad much more often than others, because the taste of this salad is excellent.

The salad will look nice and neat if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (for example, cubes).

Choose juicy tomatoes, but dense. Soft fruits do not keep their shape well, in the process of slicing and cooking they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
