Ham, Apple and Cheese Salad- one of my favorite salads, which I always cook as soon as a piece of ham appears at home. Its recipe is so simple that I initially decided not to take a step-by-step recipe for its preparation. To say that this salad is very tasty, to say nothing. Juicy, with a sweet and sour taste, the salad will be liked, I think, first of all by women. Apple, cheese and ham are simply perfect to taste in this salad.

Ham, eggs and cheese give the salad fullness, in turn, the apple refreshes the salad with its taste and makes it easier. Speaking of apples. Give preference to sweet and sour apples with hard flesh. Refuse strongly sweet or sour apples, with them the salad will turn out not so tasty.

You can cook a salad with ham, apples and cheese in a slightly different way. For example, add sweet bell pepper, carrots, corn, beans, peas, green onions, dill or parsley to it.

Hard-boiled eggs are also cut into small cubes. This can be done with a knife or an egg cutter. Eggs can also be grated on a coarse grater.
