Description

Transform holiday leftovers into a vibrant and satisfying salad, perfect for a light lunch or dinner. This ham salad is a delightful way to repurpose cooked ham, offering a symphony of textures and flavors that will awaken your palate. Imagine tender pieces of ham mingling with the peppery bite of fresh arugula, creating a robust foundation for the other ingredients.

Crisp, thinly sliced radishes add a refreshing crunch, while the sweetness of dried cranberries provides a burst of fruity goodness. The creaminess of Camembert cheese lends a luxurious, melt-in-your-mouth quality that elevates the entire dish. The dressing, with its hints of orange and maple, ties all the elements together in perfect harmony.

Its bright citrus notes complement the richness of the ham and cheese, while the subtle sweetness enhances the other flavors without overpowering them. This salad is not only delicious but also incredibly versatile. Feel free to adapt the recipe to your liking, using whatever leftover ingredients you have on hand.

Consider adding other cheeses, such as brie or gouda, or incorporating different low-carb vegetables like celery, cucumber, or bell peppers. Nuts and seeds, such as toasted pecans or pumpkin seeds, can also add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor. This recipe offers endless possibilities for customization, allowing you to create a unique and satisfying salad that perfectly suits your taste preferences and dietary needs.

Enjoy this simple yet elegant way to savor the flavors of the holidays long after the feast is over. It's a wonderful way to lighten things up after heavier meals and to reduce food waste in a delicious manner.
