Mixed Salad With Ham

Preparation:

Preparation: Scrape the Verona celery then wash it and cut it into slices, then into thin strips. Peel the endive and chop it coarsely. Remove the more fibrous outer leaves from the artichokes, trim them in half, depriving them of any hay; finally divide them into wedges which you will throw into a bowl full of fresh water, acidulated with the juice of half a lemon. Also cut the ham into strips. In a suitable salad bowl, mix the well-drained celery, endive and artichokes. Sprinkle the salad with the ham and bring it to the table accompanied by the sauce that you will get by diluting the mayonnaise with the yoghurt. Season the mixture with a pinch of salt, one of pepper and half a spoonful of finely chopped chives. Mix the salad on the table and distribute it among the diners who will dress it on their plates.
