Ingredients
For the dressing:
5
tablespoons
Dijon mustard
8
tablespoons
white wine vinegar
5
tablespoons
vegetable oil (like canola)
4-8
tablespoons
water
1
teaspoon
caraway seeds
4
teaspoons
parsley leaves, very finely minced
Salt
For the salad:
12
ounces
of Swiss cheese cut into 1/8" - thick slices
12
ounces
of boiled ham cut into 1/8" - thick slices
1
pound
firm pears (about 3 medium-size pears), peeled and cored
Instructions
Cut slices of Swiss cheese and ham into 1-inch squares. Slice each pear into 6 wedges, then slice each wedge lengthwise into four slices. Cut all slices in half to form smaller wedges.
In a large salad bowl, toss together Swiss cheese, ham and pears, mixing well. Mix in pepper to taste.
For the dressing, place the mustard in a separate mixing bowl. Whisk in white wine vinegar in a thin stream; this should slightly thin out the mustard and make it creamier. Whisk in vegetable oil in a thin stream; the dressing should be thick and creamy. Slowly add the water, between 4-8 teaspoons, to thin the dressing out; be careful not to add too much, or the dressing might separate. Add caraway seeds and parsley. Mix well. Add the dressing to the salad, mixing thoroughly. Season to taste with salt.
Additional Notes
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
