Parisian salad combines cooked ham, hard-boiled eggs and canned peas in a thick mayonnaise dressing. Pickled cucumber and sweet corn add the contrast you know from classic deli salads. Spread it on a fresh baguette, offer it with open sandwiches or serve it as a hearty cold supper. It tastes best the next day, once the flavors meld in the fridge and the mayonnaise soaks into the eggs.

Step by step process

Prep the ingredients

1
For this deli salad, first hard-boil the eggs. Put them into boiling water and cook for 10 minutes, then cool them in cold water and peel.
2
Dice the cooled eggs into small cubes. Chop the cooked ham and pickled cucumber just as finely.

Mix the salad

3
Drain the canned peas and corn well and let them dry off so the dressing does not turn watery.
4
In a bowl, stir the mayonnaise with the mustard into a smooth dressing. Fold in the chopped ham, eggs and cucumber, then add the peas and corn and mix everything gently so the kernels stay whole.
5
Season with salt and pepper and adjust to taste with a little more mustard or a spoonful of pickle brine.
