  • In my time, I've made so many salads I could practically write a cookbook. When I was young I made them only by other people's recipes—ones I'd enjoyed at a party—but eventually I started inventing my own. It all came down to the situation: who the guests were, what ingredients I had on hand. The very first salad in the world was probably thrown together the moment guests arrived and there was nothing substantial in the house, so the hostess just chopped up whatever she could find and piled it on a plate. This recipe is my own invention, too. One day a school friend dropped by. He's easy to please when it comes to food, but I really wanted to treat him to something out of the ordinary, so I decided on a little experiment. First, of course, I peeked in the fridge, took stock of everything, and started making a quick meat salad. Why quick? For one, it's made from whatever you have on hand. Of course, since it's a meat salad, the ingredients should be meats—but in a similar salad you could just as easily use fish or imitation crab. That, though, would be a different appetizer. The key to my salad is plenty of meats, all with different flavors—which is why I used the items I listed. Remember that a lot in a salad comes down to the mayonnaise. Back then, and to this day, I make my salads with mayonnaise made from real egg yolk—the aroma and flavor are simply incredible! There's no set order for cutting the ingredients in our salad, but here's one more important detail: cut every component into thin matchsticks. That way none of their individual flavors get lost. Once everything is cut, gently layer it into a deep bowl and dress it with mayonnaise or sour cream. Toss very carefully so you don't crush the shape of the ingredients. And one last thing: make this dish only when you're ready to serve it—don't prep it ahead. If you want to make a larger batch, dress only the portion you're putting on the table. You can garnish the salad with anything you like, from fresh herbs to olives.
