Salad with smoked ham is a bright representative of Russian cuisine, combining simple ingredients with a rich and deeply pleasant taste. Historically, smoked ham was used as a way to preserve meat, and in this recipe, it adds a smoky aroma and tender texture. The light sweetness of fried onions harmoniously complements the meat, while canned green peas bring freshness and softness. Dressed with mayonnaise, the salad acquires a creamy consistency, making it perfectly balanced. It is served as an independent dish or a side to meat treats, and its rich flavor makes it an excellent choice for festive tables or cozy family dinners. The simplicity of preparation combines with the richness of flavors, making this salad an indispensable part of home menus.
