Preparation
Step 1
How do you make a salad with ham, tomatoes, and cheese? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. You can use ready-made store-bought croutons, depending on the seasonings they contain you can adjust the final flavor of the salad, or you can make the croutons yourself. To do this, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
Cut the rye bread into thin slices. Cut each slice into equal sticks. If you like, sprinkle them with your favorite spices. Place the crouton pieces on a baking sheet and put them into the oven preheated to 180°C (350°F) for about 15-20 minutes. Stir the croutons from time to time so they dry evenly. If possible, turn on the convection setting.
Step 3
I left the croutons for another 10 minutes in the cooling oven so they would take on a nice brown shade. Cool the finished croutons.
Step 4
Cut the ham into sticks as well. For the salad, you can use not only ham but also any other cooked-smoked or roasted pork, for example carbonade, pork neck, or roasted pork.
Step 5
Cut the cheese into thin strips or grate it.
Step 6
Wash the tomatoes, dry them, and cut them into sticks. For this salad, choose fleshy tomatoes that are not too watery. If the tomatoes contain too much liquid, it is better to cut out the center first and only then cut them into sticks.
Step 7
In a salad bowl, combine the ham, cheese, tomatoes, and croutons.
Step 8
Dress the salad with mayonnaise and mix. You can make the mayonnaise yourself. If you do not plan to serve the salad immediately or within the next 10-15 minutes, do not add the croutons and mayonnaise yet. The croutons will quickly become soft and will no longer stay crunchy.
Step 9
The salad is ready. Enjoy your meal!
