• For the dressing: Whisk the vinegar, mustard, the 2 teaspoons salt, and black pepper to taste in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing. Whisk in the sour cream.

(If it is too tangy you can add a teaspoon of sugar. Mix it all together and chill or serve immediately. I sometimes substitute the cooked shrimp instead of ham and it's delish. Add a dash of Old Bay seasoning if you use shrimp.
