A simple and tasty ham salad - useful tips and tricks
• For the preparation of cold ham appetizers, it is better to use a product with a minimum amount of fat, as dressings will still be added to the salad. In addition, lean ham is easier to cut into neat slices.
• Mayonnaise - a common, but not the only salad dressing. Sour cream sauces with mustard, lemon juice, pepper and garlic go well with ham. In addition, they are much more beneficial for the body and less caloric.
• Before adding onions to the salad, pour boiling water over it, the bitterness will go away and it will become sweeter. You can also marinate the onion in vinegar (table, apple, wine) with the addition of granulated sugar.
• Salads with tomatoes let a lot of juice flow down to the bottom of the bowl or to the edges of the dish. To avoid this, you need to remove the watery part with seeds from the fruit and use only fleshy patches.
• Appetizers with the addition of fresh vegetables should preferably be salted and seasoned with sauces just before serving, otherwise there will be a lot of juice in the dish, the look and taste will suffer. Without dressing, the dish can stand in the refrigerator for up to a day if stored in an airtight container.
