Tips

  • Soak the chopped red onion in cold water while you prep everything else for a milder onion flavor
  • You could also marinate them in the dressing
  • If you have time, let it sit in the fridge for a few hours to chill
  • Cook the chopped ham in a hot frying pan for a few minutes to improve flavor and texture.
