Step 1:

CUTTING An interesting combination of cubes from three main ingredients makes for an interesting dish in very little time — that's probably the salad's main appeal. Its name may turn up in different regions, but it has nothing in common with the "Yakutia" salad.
Step 2:

All the prep with these ready-to-eat foods comes down to neatly cubing the cheese and ham. That's why the stated time is backed by real-life experience.
Step 3:

The cubes should be about the same size as the beans. It's not so much a rule as the fact that the ingredients mix and come together better when they're the same shape.
Step 4:

After cutting and mixing, you can dress the salad with the student's go-to — mayonnaise (optional),
Step 5:

fresh herbs (if you like and have them), and so on.
