To prepare a delicious and fresh salad, we start by preparing the essential ingredients. We take a fresh cabbage, which we cut into thin strips. It is important to ensure that the strips are uniform, so that the salad has a pleasant texture. We continue with the beetroot, which we carefully peel and cut into the same thin strips as the cabbage. This will bring a vibrant color and a sweet taste, balancing the bitterness of the cabbage.
The next step is to clean the carrot. After washing it well under cold water, we also cut it into thin strips. Combining these vegetables will give us a crunchy salad full of vitamins. After cutting all the vegetables, we mix them in a large bowl, ensuring that they combine well and that each ingredient is evenly distributed.
Now, we move on to the protein part. If we choose boiled ham, we cut it into thin strips, taking care to maintain its soft and savory texture. Alternatively, we can use boiled chicken breast, which we cut into similar strips. These will add extra flavor and consistency to our salad. We place the strips of meat over the mixed vegetables, and then add the olives, which have been drained beforehand. The olives will provide an interesting contrast of taste and a Mediterranean aroma.
At this point, it is time to add a tablespoon of vinegar, which will enhance the flavors and bring a touch of acidity. We mix the ingredients well to ensure that each component is well coated. Next, we start preparing the homemade mayonnaise. This will add a creamy and rich note to the salad. Once the mayonnaise is ready, we carefully incorporate it into the vegetable and meat mixture, homogenizing everything.
To finish, we adjust the taste with salt and pepper, according to everyone's preferences. Finally, we cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salad chill for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to develop and mix harmoniously. When you are ready to serve, take the bowl out of the refrigerator and enjoy this delicious salad, perfect as a side dish or as a main course. Bon appétit!
