Ingredients

• 250 grams Cooked deli-style ham
• 100 grams Pickles
• 1 small Red onion
• 100 grams Dairy-free mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Dill

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the main ingredients. Cut the cooked deli-style ham into thin strips, making sure they're uniform in width for consistent texture and flavor distribution.

Step 2

Chop the pickles into small cubes, roughly the size of the diced ham, to ensure you get a bit of pickle in every bite.

Step 3

Finely dice the red onion. Red onion adds a nice sharpness and color to the salad.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ham, pickles, and onion, mixing them gently with a wooden spoon or spatula.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing. Whisk together the dairy-free mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

Step 6

Season the dressing with ground black pepper. Mix it again to incorporate the pepper.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the ham, pickles, and onion mixture. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are coated evenly with the dressing.

Step 8

Wash and finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the salad. This herb will add a fresh, aromatic flavor to the dish.

Step 9

Give the salad one last gentle mix, ensuring the dill is evenly distributed.

Step 10

Refrigerate the Fleischsalat for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.

Step 11

Serve chilled as a refreshing summer salad or as a spread on fresh bread.
