You want to make sure you are not using canned ham for this recipe, it just is not as nice. You want to go to your local deli and ask for a thick cut of ham as seen below to cube.
Be sure you also, cut all your ingredients the same size makes for a nice SALAD.
HOW TO MAKE HAM SALAD
You want to use some good quality ham such as the piece I have purchased below! Deli quality is recommend!
Also, if you are adding tomatoes as I do be sure to eat it the day of. Otherwise the tomatoes tend to make it mushy the next day.
If you want to omit them and have the salad the next day go ahead too!
- Start by cutting your ham into bite size pieces
- Then all the vegetables
- Then add the cubed cheese
- And a can of strained chickpeas
- Toss all together in a large bowl with Italian seasoning dressing
- Chill at least 1 hour prior to serving and enjoy!
