Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Cooked ham
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 5 pieces Radishes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Dill
- 120 grams Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 2 slices Rye bread (optional)
Instructions
Dice the cooked ham into small, bite-sized cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Slice the cucumber lengthwise, scoop out the seeds with a spoon, and chop it into thin half-moons. Add to the bowl with the ham.
Thinly slice the radishes and red onion and add them to the mixing bowl.
Finely chop the fresh dill and set aside a small amount for garnish, then add the rest to the bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the ham and vegetables. Gently toss everything together until well coated.
Prepare the serving plates by laying down a lettuce leaf on each plate for a fresh and crunchy base.
Spoon the ham salad mixture evenly onto the prepared lettuce leaves.
Garnish with the reserved dill and serve immediately. Optionally, serve with slices of rye bread on the side for a traditional Scandinavian touch.
