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.

OMG!! AMAZING! Will make this again and again and again…
Thank you so much, Melissa!
Can you use bacon in place of the ham if so how much?
Hi Patricia! I am not sure if bacon would work here. Let me know if you try it this way.
Pickling Cucumbers? Pickles?
Hi Nikki! Pickling cucumbers is just s name for small type of a cucumber. Please, use fresh cucumbers. Sorry for misunderstanding. I already corrected it. 🙂
Does this refrigerate well??
Hi Kelly! Not really. It would stay for about 12 hours, but after that it will soften and release water. I suggest keeping the salad without the mayo, and just adding the mayo right before you want to eat it.
This may be a dumb question but do I have to cook the canned corn 1st Or just pour it right in the salad from the can , without the juice of course
Thank you M
Hi Marsha! You don’t have to cook the corn, just drain it and add to the salad. Thank you and happy cooking!
