Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a delicious homemade salad with ham, tomatoes, crackers and beans? Very simple. First, prepare all the necessary ingredients. The ingredients specified in the recipe can be replaced and supplemented to your liking. For example, add sweet bell pepper, Peking cabbage, etc. You can take wheat or rye crackers, store-bought with different additives or cook them yourself. I have rye crackers with a taste of "Sour cream";
Step 2:
Drain the liquid from the canned corn and beans. It is better to additionally rinse and dry the beans.
Step 3:
Cut tomatoes into slices. Choose dense tomatoes. Soft fruits do not keep their shape well, in the process of slicing and mixing they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish. If the tomatoes are very watery, it is better to remove the middle with the seeds, leaving the pulp so that the salad does not get too wet.
Step 4:
Cut the ham into strips. Take the ham that you like to taste. You can replace the ham with smoked pork neck, ham or carbonade.
Step 5:
Cucumbers also cut into strips. The skin, if it is not rough, not damaged and not bitter, does not need to be cut off.
Step 6:
In a bowl, combine ham, cucumbers, tomatoes, canned beans and corn.
Step 7:
Season the salad with mayonnaise, add crackers. If you do not plan to serve the salad immediately or in the next 10-15 minutes, then it is better not to add crackers and mayonnaise. The crackers will quickly get wet and turn into a bread porridge. This will happen especially quickly with wheat crackers.
Step 8:
Mix everything thoroughly and serve immediately. If desired, you can sprinkle the salad with chopped parsley and green onions. Bon appetit!
Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
How to buy canned corn correctly? Be sure to check the expiration date on the jar. If the container is glass, carefully consider the grains. They should be the same size and color, solid and spotless. The composition should not contain dyes, preservatives and flavor enhancers.
It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting
