Ham salad
Description
Minimal effort — excellent result. Honestly, what's so special about the classic "Caesar"? For a Russian person, this salad is not substantial enough :) Much better to add some meat, preferably grilled — then it becomes both delicious and filling! But seriously, various additions to "Caesar" have long become a tradition in their own right. People prepare it with all sorts of ingredients! Chicken, fish, mushrooms, caviar, vegetables, fruits — the list can go on and on. This simple Caesar salad recipe with ham is perfect for pork lovers. It turns out very tasty and, actually, not nearly as high-calorie as it might seem. If you have grilled ham, then this is definitely the way to serve it — with plenty of fresh greens, rather than with potatoes or pasta. So, shall we give it a try? It's ready to serve right away.
