In his elevated version of potato salad, star chef Jose Andres combines fingerling potatoes, smoky ham and buttery shallots in a whipped deviled egg dressing. Minced cornichons, spicy horseradish and crunchy English cucumber add amazing flavor and texture, and a garnish of pickled okra brings a unique (but delicious) bite. This salad is a perfect side dish for cookouts, and is a great way to add sophistication to backyard summertime cooking. Pair this salad with a berry-rich sparkling rosé cava for a highbrow take on a barbecue classic.
This lunchtime classic gets a flavor boost from jalapeños, paprika and fresh alfalfa sprouts.
In this fun take on the sandwich classic, Grace Parisi creates a delectable ham salad mixed with crunchy rye bread croutons and bits of Gruyere cheese, tossed in a mustardy dressing with celery and chives. She sometimes likes to wrap the bread salad in Bibb lettuce leaves for an inside-out sandwich.
If you don't have time to make the biscuits, the ham salad is terrific served on pita chips or crostini cut from a baguette.
