The main difference between salads and cocktails from their simple relatives is the thoroughness of the cutting and the abundance of salad dressing, thanks to which the snack becomes very tender. As a rule, snacks of this kind are served in glasses or kremankah, but in modern cooking strict rules regarding filing are not present. Also, there is no difference in the laying out of ingredients: if in a classic cocktail the ingredients were necessarily distributed layer by layer, now they can be safely mixed, thereby facilitating eating. Below we will analyze several recipes for a salad-cocktail with ham and cheese.
