MY FAVORITE BOLOGNA OR HAM SALAD FOR SANDWICHES



My Favorite Bologna or Ham Salad for Sandwiches image

I grew up only knowing this by Ham Salad which is what my Mom and local Deli's up North called it. She said it was the "Poor Man's Ham Salad" which never contained any ham, just bologna, but giving it the wonderful flavor and color of what could have been ham. We loved it. I made it for my children as they grew up and it is still requested though they are adults now. I am in my 50's and still make it for myself as a snack spread or sandwich. I've seen a variation of recipes for this, tried some and still think mine is my favorite. Let me know what you think?

Time 15m

Yield 2 pounds, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb of your favorite bologna
0.75 (12 ounce) package sliced American cheese
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
1/4 cup real mayonnaise (can use Miracle Whip)

Steps:

  • Do not use Velveeta for this recipe, it does not store well.
  • I suggest a food processor for this recipe unless you prefer a meat grinder. Use a large bowl with tight lid for storing.
  • Take all the bologna out of the packaging and quarter.
  • Unwrap all the cheese slices (if in wrap) and quarter as well.
  • Place half the meat and half the cheese in processor and pulse until semi-chunky. It should look spreadable. Scoop in bowl.
  • Add remaining bologna and cheese, process.
  • Place rest in large bowl and add relish, mix well.
  • Add 1/2 of the mayo, stir. You can choose the consistency if you prefer. I like it a bit more mayonnaisy. Add rest if preferred.
  • You can use either Miracle Whip or real Mayo, both are great. I like the real mayo because it works better with crackers.
  • Serve on either a hamburger bun (kid's favorite), sandwich bread, or club crackers.
  • Store remaining spread in fridge, it can last up to one week.

Provided by Susan52

Number Of Ingredients 9

GARNISH:
2 cups ham, fat trimmed off and diced
1/2 cup miracle whip
1/4 cup mayo
2 teaspoons dried onion flakes
1 teaspoon stone ground mustard
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish (You could use Dill pickle relish instead if you prefer)
Butter crackers
Swiss cheese slices, cut into squares

Steps:

  • Dice the ham into small 1/2" cubes. Add all of the remaining ingredients except for the relish to a food processor and pulse until chunky. You want it to be smooth enough to spread on crackers, but not so smooth that it becomes a paste. Check every few pulses and watch closely to get the desired consistency. Transfer the spread to a mixing bowl and stir in relish. Serve with crackers and Swiss cheese.

Tips:

- For the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients. Look for fresh, crisp vegetables and a good-quality ham or bologna. - Don't overmix the salad. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing will make the salad mushy. - Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. If you're chilling it, be sure to stir it before serving. - Add-ins: feel free to add other ingredients to your salad, such as chopped celery, hard-boiled eggs, or grated cheese. - Experiment with different types of bread or crackers for serving. ###
