Swiss Style Cheese Salad

by Leave a Comment

A hearty main-dish salad, inspired by the mountain-top Swiss cheese makers — satisfying and protein-rich for a full days’s work load. Everybody loves this sturdy, non-fussy salad made of old favorites — ham and cheese, bound together with robust horseradish-cream dressing.

Good served with crusty bread, wholegrain crackers, mineral water, apple cider, and chilled white wine.

Makes 4 servings. For 2 servings, half of the ingredients. For 8 servings, double the ingredients.
