Instructions
1. Dice the ham into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

4. Peel the cucumber, if desired, and dice it into small cubes. Add the cucumber to the bowl.
5. Finely dice the red onion and add it to the salad for a slight crunch and zesty flavor.
6. Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the salad.
7. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
8. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine everything evenly.
9. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together (optional).
10. Serve the ham and corn salad chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
