APPLE HAM SALAD

Apple Ham Salad image

This is a really delicious salad. Great way of using up apples and that last bit of ham in the fridge. It was adapted from The Best of Country Cooking. Cooking time is time spent in the fridge. You may also want to add a finely minced garlic clove.

Tips:

Choose the right apples: Use firm, crisp apples that hold their shape when cooked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
Slice the apples evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
Don't overcook the apples: They should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
Use high-quality ham: Deli ham is fine, but if you can find a good smoked ham, it will add a lot of flavor to the salad.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients: You can add celery, walnuts, grapes, or even shredded cheese to the salad.

Conclusion:

Apple and ham salad is a classic dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its sweet and savory flavors, apple and ham salad is a dish that everyone will enjoy.
