Instead of ham, you can use ordinary boiled sausage, if desired, it is possible to add smoked, then the taste of the salad will be more intense and piquant. Pour the chopped ham into a deep bowl to make it easy to knead the salad.
   
2. Grate 50 g of any hard cheese on a coarse grater and add to the ham. You can also experiment and add grated cream cheese.
   
3. Open 1 jar of canned white beans, drain all the liquid from it and pour the beans into a bowl with other ingredients. Beans can be bought ready-made in cans, or you can use one that you canned yourself.
   
4. Peel one small onion, wash and cut into small cubes, add to beans, grated cheese and ham. If you wish, in order to remove excess bitterness from the onion, you can soak it for a short time in vinegar with water, and then squeeze it slightly or simply sprinkle it with vinegar.
   
5. Wash the fresh cucumber, cut into small strips, and then cut into cubes. Add chopped cucumber in a bowl to other chopped foods.
   
6. Salt and pepper the salad to your taste, mix, and then add 200 g of mayonnaise. If you want to make the dish lighter and less greasy, then you can season it with sour cream with a little fat content or olive oil with balsamic vinegar.
   
7. Beautifully lay the salad with white beans on a large plate in the middle, garnish it with a sprig of parsley, and sprinkle chopped green onions on the sides. In addition, chopped parsley can be added to the salad itself, this will give it a pleasant fresh taste.
