Notes

Feel free to swap ham for cooked chicken or turkey for a lighter option. Greek yogurt can substitute for sour cream if you're looking for a tangier flavor. Adding shredded apples or pears can introduce extra sweetness and crunch. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within 24 hours for peak freshness. Avoid freezing this dish to maintain texture. For a vibrant presentation, serve in a clear bowl and consider garnishing with fresh herbs or nuts for added texture.
