Today, we’re going to make a super easy and delicious salad that’s perfect for any meal! This salad is packed with tasty veggies like carrots, red pepper, peas, and corn, plus some canned ham for extra flavor. We’ll mix everything with mayonnaise and yogurt to make it creamy, and add a little salt and pepper to taste. It’s a great dish to bring to a picnic or have as a side for dinner. Let’s get started and mix up something yummy!
Ingredients:
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and grated
- 7 eggs, hard-boiled and finely chopped
- 200 g canned ham, diced
- 1 red pepper, finely diced
- 200 g canned peas, drained
- 180 g canned corn, drained
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons natural yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Prep the Vegetables and Eggs:
- Start by preparing your vegetables. Grate the carrots, dice the red pepper, and ensure your canned peas and corn are well-drained to remove any excess liquid. For the eggs, place them in a pot of water, bring to a boil, then let them simmer for about 10 minutes. Cool them under cold water, peel, and then chop finely.
- Mix the Salad:
- In a large bowl, combine the grated carrots, chopped eggs, diced ham, and red pepper. Add the drained peas and corn to the mixture. Toss these ingredients together gently to distribute them evenly.
- Prepare the Dressing:
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and natural yogurt until smooth. Season with black pepper and salt according to your taste.
- Combine and Chill:
- Pour the dressing over the vegetable and egg mixture, and stir well to ensure everything is coated evenly with the dressing. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve:
- Once chilled, give the salad a gentle stir and do a taste test to adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve the Garden Harvest Salad Cups chilled, ideally on a bed of fresh greens or in individual cups for a fancy presentation.
