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.

OLD TIME HAM SALAD (FOR SANDWICHES)



Old Time Ham Salad (For Sandwiches) image

Yes, this is the REAL DEAL, folks -- this is the super great-tasting ham salad spread that you used to be able to buy at the mom and pop stores back in the '50s and '60s. It makes a lot but it will go fast. I could eat these ham salad sandwiches on sesame-seed buns with a little lettuce every day of the week. Don't use cheap bologna in this recipe or you'll be disappointed -- I like to use Kahn's Club Bologna. Also, you'll need some sort of meat grinder to make this -- a food processor does NOT yield a good consistency. I use my Kitchen-Aide Grinder attachment. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality ham. Look for ham that is smoked or cured, and that has a good amount of marbling.
  • If you don't have any celery on hand, you can substitute chopped water chestnuts or jicama.
  • To make your ham salad even more flavorful, add a tablespoon or two of your favorite minced herbs, such as dill, parsley, or chives.
  • If you're watching your calories, you can use light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt instead of regular mayonnaise.
  • Ham salad can be served on sandwiches, crackers, or lettuce wraps. It also makes a great filling for deviled eggs.

Conclusion:

Ham salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a snack. It's easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover ham. So next time you have some leftover ham, give ham salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
