To prepare Capricciosa salad, start by cutting the cooked ham into small, regular cubes. This helps create a balanced texture and ensures that every bite contains all the ingredients.<\/p>\n

Thinly slice the white celery, keeping the slices light and crisp. Peel and wash the carrots, then cut them into fine julienne strips. Dice the Emmental cheese into small cubes, similar in size to the ham, so the salad looks neat and well mixed.<\/p>\n

Place all the prepared ingredients into a large bowl. Add the peas, which should be previously cooked and well drained, then gently mix everything together.<\/p>\n

Season the salad with one teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. This adds a pleasant freshness and balances the richness of the mayonnaise<\/a>. In a small bowl, dilute the mayonnaise with the vegetable broth, mixing until you obtain a smooth and creamy sauce. Pour the dressing over the salad and mix carefully, making sure all ingredients are evenly coated without breaking them.<\/p>\n

Cover the bowl and let the Capricciosa salad rest in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to blend and improves the overall taste.<\/p>\n

Useful tips:<\/h4>\n

Use good-quality ham and cheese for the best flavor.<\/p>\n

If you prefer a lighter version, reduce the mayonnaise or replace part of it with plain yogurt.<\/p>\n

For extra freshness, you can add finely chopped parsley or chives before serving.<\/p>\n

This salad can be prepared in advance, but it\u2019s best enjoyed within the same day.<\/p>\n

Capricciosa salad is perfect as an appetizer, a light main dish, or as a filling for sandwiches and savory pies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
