Paparac-Kvietka Salad

Slice the ham and boiled beef into thin strips or small dice, then arrange on a cutting board.

Dice the tomatoes and cucumbers into bite-sized pieces, removing excess seeds from tomatoes if desired to prevent excess moisture.

Slice the half onion thinly, then soak in cold water for 5 minutes to mellow its sharp flavor, then drain well.

Roughly chop the fresh greens (dill, parsley, or chives traditional to Belarusian cuisine) into bite-sized pieces.

Combine the ham, boiled beef, diced tomatoes, diced cucumbers, drained onion, and chopped greens in a large mixing bowl.

Drizzle the mayonnaise over the salad ingredients and gently toss until all components are evenly coated.

Season with salt to taste, stirring gently to distribute the seasoning throughout without breaking down the vegetables.

Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and the salad to chill.
