Cooking Beans
- Boil water in a saucepan.
- Add dumb sugar to the boiling water, literally on the tip of the spoon. This is necessary so that the beans do not lose their color during cooking. Put 400 g of frozen green beans in a pan.
- Bring the beans to a boil and let cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. It is better not to cover the lid, otherwise it may be digested and begin to creep. Fold the boiled pods into a colander and rinse thoroughly under running cold water, stirring the contents of the colander with a spoon. Then let cool at room temperature for at least 20 minutes.
Make a salad
- Cut 250 g of ham into thin strips and put in a salad bowl.
- Cut half the onion into thin half rings, add it to the ham.
- Cut 2 tomatoes into medium cubes, and then send to a salad bowl.
- Add to the rest of the ingredients the beans that have cooled and which have been drained of excess water.
- Directly in a salad bowl with vegetables and ham, grate 100-120 g of hard cheese on a coarse grater.
- Add a little salt and 50-60 mayonnaise, mix the salad. Instead of mayonnaise, you can also use sour cream or white yogurt in the same amount. Try adding salt if necessary. You can also add a little ground pepper - focus on your taste preferences.
- Garnish the dish with fresh herbs - parsley leaves or sprigs of dill.
You can serve salad to the table. Enjoy your meal!
Decoration and Serving
In addition to fresh herbs, you can decorate the salad with tomatoes. Cut the extra vegetable into thin circles and lay them nicely on top of the salad.
