Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g bologna or cooked ham (thinly sliced)
- 3 medium-sized pickles (dill or gherkins)
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp mustard (Dijon or German-style)
- 0.5 tsp sugar
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Cut the bologna or cooked ham into thin strips around 2-3 inches long and about 1/4 inch wide. Place in a large mixing bowl.
Dice the pickles into small cubes, roughly the same size as the meat strips. Add them to the bowl with the meat.
In a separate smaller bowl, prepare the dressing by combining the mayonnaise, sour cream, white vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper.
Whisk the dressing until smooth and creamy, ensuring all the ingredients are well combined.
Pour the dressing over the meat and pickles in the large bowl.
Gently toss everything together until the meat and pickles are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl and let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve as a side dish, on top of crusty bread, or as a sandwich filling.
