This ham salad with sour cream is a simple mixed salad made with grated carrots, fresh cucumber, pickles, peas, corn, and ham. You can use salami or sausage instead of ham, and thick plain yogurt instead of sour cream. Let the salad rest in the refrigerator for an hour before serving so the flavors can meld. Serve as a side dish with a main course or on its own with bread.

Ingredients

4 servings

Grated carrot 200 g
Cucumber 1
Pickles (sour gherkins) 3

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Peel the carrots and wash the fresh cucumber thoroughly, then coarsely grate both. Cut the pickles and ham, or salami or sausage if using, into thick strips.
Mix everything together in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in the sour cream or thick plain yogurt and refrigerate the salad for an hour to let the flavors meld.

Tip: Before grating the fresh cucumber, cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon so the sour cream salad won't become watery, even after an hour in the refrigerator.
