20 minutes

Spring vegetable salad with smoked cheese and ham is a harmony of freshness and rich flavor. Its roots go back to European culinary traditions that value the combination of crunchy vegetables, spicy smoked cheese, and tender ham. The salad surprises with a balance of textures: juicy tomatoes, radishes, and cucumbers are complemented by the softness of eggs and the aroma of lemon juice. Smoked cheese adds a slightly smoky note to the dish, while the mayonnaise dressing makes it tender and hearty. Ideal for a spring or summer lunch, served with croutons for extra crunchiness. Light yet nutritious, this salad can be both a standalone dish or an excellent addition to the main menu. Its fresh taste and appetizing appearance make it a popular choice for home dinners and festive gatherings.
