use shredded cheese—grated cheese will drown and won’t provide the desired bite.
Finely chop the chives and add them as well.
Mix the dressing: Add the mayonnaise, vinegar, and oil directly to the bowl and mix everything thoroughly. Season with freshly ground pepper. Salt is usually not necessary, as the ham and cheese are already flavorful enough.
Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This allows the flavors to blend perfectly and the salad to become particularly flavorful.
Serving tip:
The salad tastes best chilled with fresh baguette or as a side dish to grilled meat. It’s perfect for summer evenings, picnics, or as a filling lunch idea at the office.
Enjoy—but be careful: it’s addictive!
