HAM AND EGG SALAD
Great egg salad with a little something extra. Delicious for regular sandwiches and also finger sandwiches, or on large sturdy crackers (like the Swedish rye crisps). This recipe would be delicious using a great Southern U.S. ham.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. This is especially true for the eggs, mayonnaise, and vegetables.
- Hard-boil the eggs perfectly: Overcooked eggs will be dry and crumbly, while undercooked eggs will be runny and unsafe to eat. To achieve the perfect hard-boiled egg, place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, depending on how hard you want them to be. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise: Not all mayonnaise is created equal. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Avoid mayonnaise that contains a lot of sugar or preservatives.
- Add some crunch: A little bit of crunch can go a long way in adding flavor and texture to ham and egg salad. Try adding some chopped celery, red onion, or pickles. You could also add some crispy bacon or croutons.
- Season to taste: Once you've added all of your ingredients, be sure to taste the salad and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs until the salad is flavorful and balanced.
Conclusion:
Ham and egg salad is a classic sandwich filling that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover ham and eggs.
