Rainbow Salad with Ham, Carrots, and Beets

This is a salad you'll be proud to bring to any holiday table! What matters most here isn't so much the ingredients as how you arrange and present them. Keep in mind: since it's called "Rainbow," the ingredients should span as many colors as you can manage—the broader the spectrum, the better. Consider this a recipe to play with and make your own! My version uses beets, carrots, ham, potatoes, and green peas. You could also add fresh cucumber for a splash of green.
