taken over by mother-in-law, not haute cuisine, but delicious
I don’t actually use canned goods at all. This salad is a legacy from my mother-in-law, and I make it exactly the way she always did. My husband and children love it. You could certainly make it a bit more culinary and use fresh mushrooms and fresh asparagus, but I think that loses its 70s retro charm. Basically, everything is just mixed together. I always start with the whipped cream and stir in the tangerine juice. It’s important to use plenty of tangerine juice and add a little lemon juice as well. Season with salt and pepper. The salad should be slightly soupy; it will infuse later. Be sure to taste and adjust the seasoning again before serving. Add a little more lemon juice and honey, if desired. You can also use bologna instead of ham. Hard-boiled eggs can be added, but I prefer them without.
