Step 1:

How do you make bell pepper and ham salad? Gather the ingredients.
Step 2:

Cut the boiled potato into cubes.
Step 3:

Cut the ham into cubes as well.
Step 4:

Finely chop half of a small onion.
Step 5:

Cut the pickles into small cubes.
Step 6:

Seed the half bell pepper and cut it into cubes.
Step 7:

Dice the eggs along with everything else—or, if you're making a layered salad, I'd suggest separating the whites and yolks and grating them on the fine side of a grater.
Step 8:

Mix the diced ingredients together and dress them with the mayonnaise stirred together with the mustard. Or build the salad in layers, spreading dressing on each one. I layered mine in this order: potato, ham, onion, pickles, bell pepper, egg white, yolk. If you go with layers, let the salad sit for about an hour before serving so the layers set. Enjoy your meal!

It's better to make the mayonnaise yourself—it'll be tastier and healthier. See some great homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also use not just mayonnaise as a dressing but sour cream or plain yogurt. Use them on their own or mix them with mayonnaise in any ratio you like—it'll cut the calories.
How do you make hard-boiled eggs? To keep the eggs from cracking as they cook, put them in cold water and set them on low heat. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after the water comes to a boil, then pour off the hot water and cool them in cold. The sudden temperature change makes the shells easier to peel.
The salad will look neat and attractive if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (cubes, for example).
