Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you make a salad with green onion, croutons, ham, and beans? Gather the ingredients. You can use canned beans or boil dried ones, white or red. Canned beans make the process faster; choose whichever kind you prefer. Croutons can be bought ready-made or made at home from a couple of slices of white wheat bread.
Step 2:

If you're using dried beans, soak them overnight so they swell well. In the morning, rinse them thoroughly under running water and boil for 40 minutes. Salt the beans at the end of cooking so they don't go mushy — for a salad you want them whole. Once cooked, drain the water and let them cool. With canned beans, just drain the liquid.
Step 3:

Heat sunflower oil in a skillet. In a bowl, beat the egg with a fork and a pinch of salt. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and fry it into a thin egg pancake.
Step 4:

Cut the wheat bread into small cubes and dry them on a dry baking sheet in the oven. Once they're lightly browned, take them out and let them cool and harden. Store-bought croutons can come in any flavor you like.
Step 5:

Let the egg pancake cool and cut it into squares or strips.
Step 6:

Finely chop the onion and fry it in sunflower oil until golden.
Step 7:

Use any ham you like, chicken or beef. Cut it into strips.
Step 8:

Rinse the green onion well and cut it into small pieces — it looks nicer cut on the diagonal.
Step 9:

Grate the hard cheese (any kind) on a fine grater.
Step 10:

Put the beans, egg pancake, ham, and fried onion in a deep bowl. Add salt if needed and dress with mayonnaise. You can also use another sauce, or a mix of mayonnaise and sour cream for a milder taste. Set aside the cheese, croutons, and green onion.
Step 11:

Add the croutons, cheese, and herbs to the salad right before serving, or they may soak up the mayonnaise and turn into unappealing, soggy pieces of bread, while the cheese and greens dry out. Sprinkle the salad with wheat croutons, grated cheese, and green onion on top and serve right away. Enjoy!
