(classic salad)

Description

The salad is quick and easy to prepare. There are different variations of the dish—for example, fried potatoes can be replaced with Chinese or regular cabbage. Instead of ham, you can use smoked meat. The salad does not need to be chilled in the refrigerator for long before serving; 10-15 minutes is enough. The salad is ready to serve.
