Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a salad with ham and cucumber Tenderness? Prepare your food. Any ham will do — pork, chicken or turkey. Choose tasty, high-quality food, the taste of the whole dish will depend on this. The same applies to cheese — it must first of all be tasty. Boil the eggs first and cool. Take one large cucumber or two small ones. You can make mayonnaise yourself. Or replace it with sour cream to slightly reduce the calorie content of the dish.

Step 2

Step 2
Remove the ham from the packaging and cut into thin medium-sized strips. Leave a small piece for decoration — you can make a rose out of it.

Step 3

Step 3
Also cut the cucumber — any salad will look more aesthetically pleasing if the ingredients for it are cut the same way. Before slicing, be sure to taste the cucumber to see if it is bitter — such a fruit will spoil the taste of the entire dish.

Step 4

Step 4
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. To make this more convenient, you can put it in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.

Step 5

Step 5
Also grate the cooled and peeled eggs on a coarse grater.

Step 6

Step 6
Place all salad ingredients in a salad bowl. Whether to salt the salad or not is a matter of taste. The saltiness of mayonnaise, cheese and ham is enough for me. You can add salt as desired.

Step 7

Step 7
Before serving, season the salad with mayonnaise. Stir.

Step 8

Step 8
You can serve the salad by transferring it to a salad bowl. Or lay it out using a cooking ring. This salad can also be laid out in layers — ham-cheese-cucumber-eggs. Spread each layer with mayonnaise.

Step 9

Step 9
Before serving, if desired, decorate the salad with ham, fresh cucumber, cheese and egg with a ham rose and herbs. Bon appetit!
