Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless cooked ham, chopped (smoked tastes great)
- 1 boiled egg (optional)
- 2 small celery stalks (diced)
- 2 Tablespoons sweet onion (diced)
- 2 Tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder (no salt)
- ½ cup mayonnaise (I use Dukes)
- 2 Tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
Chopped Ham Salad
- Chop boneless ham into small cubes. Dice celery and onion into small pieces. Add diced boiled egg if desired (optional).
- Place ham in a large bowl with celery, onion, sweet pickle relish, black pepper and garlic powder.
- Add mayonnaise and dijon mustard. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add dried parsley for color and taste.
- Serve on a bed of lettuce or stuff into a flaky croissant, sandwich or tortilla.
Ham Salad Spread
- If making a spread, add ham mixture to a food processor or blender and pulse several times until spreadable. Do not grind until it becomes a paste. It should still be a little chunky.
- Serve as an appetizer or dip for parties and picnics.
Notes
- How long does ham salad last? Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir well before serving.
- Can ham salad be frozen? Ham freezes well, but once you've added mayonnaise it changes the consistency. Freeze spreads for up to 3 months in an airtight container. Freezing a chopped salad is a little more difficult, so I would stick to making a spread if freezing is necessary.
