Canned beans can be replaced with dry beans. It must be pre-soaked in cold water for several hours, then boiled until soft over a moderate heat. You need to salt the beans closer to the end of cooking, that is, when the beans are almost ready. This salad-making option will be just as quick if you cook the beans beforehand.

How to make a salad with Korean carrots, ham and beans? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Canned beans can be used in both white and red. Pre-roll the beans onto a sieve to make the glass extra liquid. Drain the excess marinade from the Korean carrot too. If Korean carrots are rubbed with too long a straw, you can cut it.

Cut the ham into thin strips.

Salad cheese is suitable for your taste: hard, semi-hard, soft or melted. The main thing is that it is tasty, high-quality, without milk fat substitutes. Grate the hard cheese over a coarse grater. Soft or melted cheese, if desired, can also be cut into thin straws.

In a suitable bowl, combine all the ingredients: canned beans, Korean carrots, chopped ham and cheese. You can season the salad with mayonnaise, sour cream or yogurt. Add the amount of dressing to taste. Mix everything well. If desired, fresh greens (parsley or dill) can be added to the salad. Pre-wash the greens, remove the thick twigs, dry well and finely chop.

The salad can be served immediately or cooled a little. Enjoy your meal!

They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
