Made with fresh cabbage, cucumbers, ham, corn, and scallions, this tasty and crunchy Cabbage and Ham Salad is packed with vitamins and makes a quick lunch or side dish.
What I like about this Cabbage and Ham Salad is that it is made with just a few ingredients and it tastes great. I use a simple mayonnaise-lemon dressing in this recipe, which adds an extra touch of creamy texture, but doesn’t overpower the flavors of the main ingredients.
This salad would make a wonderful addition to your winter diet, adding a lot of vitamins that we all lack during the cold season.

What wine pairs well with this salad
Hi Diana! Since I am not a wine drinker, I found this on Google: "Fruity Wines – Ham, with its sweet-and-salty richness, pairs best with wines that have a touch of sweetness, plenty of acidity and bold fruit. Great ham-wines include Riesling, Moscato, Chenin Blanc, Rosé, Lambrusco, Grenache, and Zinfandel."
I made this without the corn added some cilantro it was delish!! Love this salad. Ate it as a lunch dish with 1/2 avocado. Plan to eat as side dish with baked chicken wings
Awesome! Thanks, Sharon!
THIS WAS SO GOOD!!! I was asked to make dinner for my family and I found this recipe on Pinterest. It was super easy and fast to make and everyone loved it!! We had leftovers so I brought the rest to school the next day and it was just as good. Amazing recipe, will be making more 🙂
Thank you, Juliana! It means a lot to me!
This was delicious. I was looking for a hearty salad I could eat as a meal on a cold and rainy day. I used a bag of coleslaw mix and added extra red cabbage, added some cilantro, used Mexicorn - it has bell peppers added. When I served it I added a sliced hard-boiled egg and shredded cheese on top. Filling and satisfying and something different than the typical chopped salads I frequently make. Thanks for this recipe!
Sounds great! Thanks, Jana!
Even the vegetables have carbs. One Cup Cabbage has 4.1gm. Half Cup Cucumbers have 1.9gm. Ham usually has Sugar added. Check the label. Corn has
18gm in 4.4oz, about 1/3 of Delmonte canned corn.
