Ingredients
- 250 g bologna or cooked ham (thinly sliced)
- 3 medium-sized pickles (dill or gherkins)
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp mustard (Dijon or German-style)
- 0.5 tsp sugar
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
Directions
Step 1
Cut the bologna or cooked ham into thin strips around 2-3 inches long and about 1/4 inch wide. Place in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Dice the pickles into small cubes, roughly the same size as the meat strips. Add them to the bowl with the meat.
Step 3
In a separate smaller bowl, prepare the dressing by combining the mayonnaise, sour cream, white vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Whisk the dressing until smooth and creamy, ensuring all the ingredients are well combined.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the meat and pickles in the large bowl.
Step 6
Gently toss everything together until the meat and pickles are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 7
Cover the bowl and let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Serve as a side dish, on top of crusty bread, or as a sandwich filling.
