Delicious salads with ham - cooking secrets

Some useful tips from popular chefs on how to prepare ham salad so that it is very tasty:

1. Any salad, including ham, is considered unfit for consumption two hours from the moment it was prepared. Therefore, it is important to calculate the number of servings and prepare the dish immediately before consumption (does not apply to those that need to brew).
2. Often, even simple salads with ham contain croutons, which get soggy very quickly in the dish, so you need to sprinkle them on the bread right before serving.
3. Do not add a lot of dressing (mayonnaise, sour cream, sauce) to the salad - it will overwhelm the taste of the main ingredients.
