There are salads that are equally suitable for both festive and everyday menus. They are easy to prepare, filling, delicious, and beautiful to look at. Even the most inexperienced cook can handle this type of dish.

It lives up to its name. This dish doesn't require much time or effort, and the ingredients for this recipe (with photos) are easily found in any refrigerator.

This gives it a huge advantage over its well-known, but slightly boring, counterparts.

Ingredients:

ham – 200 gr.;
hard cheese – 80 gr.;
chicken eggs – 2 pcs.;
tomato – 150 gr.;
mayonnaise – 150 gr.;
table salt – to taste.

How to make Minute Salad

Cut the ham into small cubes. Arrange in an even layer in the bottom of a salad bowl. For aesthetics, it's best to use a clear glass bowl, as the salad is made in layers.

Spread mayonnaise (homemade or salad-grade is best for this salad) over the meat layer. Grate hard cheese on a coarse grater. Form the next layer, spreading it over the surface.

Add another portion of mayonnaise sauce on top and spread it evenly. Dice the tomato. It's best to use firm, fleshy tomatoes for this salad, as they won't make it watery.

Coat the tomato cubes with mayonnaise again. Then grate the hard-boiled eggs and spread them evenly over the salad.

It's ready. You can garnish the dish with a sprig of fresh herbs and serve immediately to delight your guests, or let it sit in the refrigerator for about an hour. The salad will be delicious and juicy either way.

This one-minute salad is light, airy, and incredibly delicious. If you spend an extra 5-10 minutes, you can make it in individual portions and serve each guest their own plate of this mouth-watering dish. Your guests will definitely ask for more and the recipe for this masterpiece. Give it a try!
