Steps:
- Whisk the mayonnaise and mustard together in a large bowl. Pulse the ham and pickles in a food processor until finely chopped but not pureed. Add the ham mixture, pickle juice, celery, onions and celery leaves to the mayonnaise mixture, and stir. Taste; if the salad seems dry (it should be spreadable), add more mayonnaise and/or pickling liquid. Serve as is or on sandwiches.
MY FAVORITE BOLOGNA OR HAM SALAD FOR SANDWICHES
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?

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.

POOR MAN'S HAM SALAD
When I was growing up, my Grandmother would make wonderful things on a very tight budget. A really great cook can take the cheapest ingredients and make astonishing things with them. I never knew she was using Bologna for this Ham Salad until I was older. I make this now for a group of friends and they call often to let me know they need more.

Steps:
- You'll need a grinder for this. The old crank type or electric, it you have one. Grind the Bologna through a coarse grind plate.
- Grind the Sweet Pickles into the ground Bologna, adding some of the juice to make moist. (You certainly can use Sweet Pickle Relish if you like) I've also used "Bread n' Butter" pickles when I was out of Sweet.
- My figures for the Mayo, Mustard etc. are approximate as I make a much larger batch and do it all by sight and taste. Mix the Mayo in first, then Mustard.
- I don't add the diced onion, because although it adds texture and taste, you can't hold this long w/ raw onion in it. Instead, I use a Jalapeno Relish that has pickled onion in it. It's available at Mexgrocer.com I add this after finishing for those whom desire a little kick, leave the main batch without.
- When it's all mixed and to your taste, pack in clean jars or Tupperware. It'll hold in the refrigerator for two weeks and better. If it begins to get a bit dry, just mix a little more Mayo into it.
- This is great on sandwiches and also works well as a canape or cracker topper, just sprinkle a little Paprika on it to look pretty.
- My first time to post anything here, so I hope I've been clear and haven't broached any protocols...LOL
ANDREA'S EASY HAM SALAD (FOR SANDWICHES)
I'm not so great at baking whole hams, but I love when my Mom sends me leftover ham that she has cooked. Hubby loves ham salad sandwiches, and whenever we get ham, his first question is always "Are you going to make that ham salad?" It's just been a matter of experimentation to come up with it. It's quick and easy, with common ingredients. Hope you enjoy it as we do. I'm not really sure how many sandwiches this makes--enough for a couple of days for our small family. Let me know if the servings are off. (And I guess it depends on how thick you like your sandwiches.) Can be served on any type of bread, but I have found rye really complements ham salad.

PO' MAN'S HAM SALAD (MAKES ENOUGH TO FEED A GROUP)
I learned how to make this from a sweet woman Margorie Siem, of McAllen, Texas. She has since passed on, but she generously passed along her wonderful recipes to me and others in our American Legion Auxiliary in McAllen. Marge was a gem of a lady and could she cook!!! I was blessed that she passed to me many of her best dishes! If you are making sandwiches for a group of people, this recipe is a MUST HAVE! It's like a "faux" ham salad, tasting like a deviled ham spread. It's delicious and so easy to make! This has fed many a hungry person at our American Legion Conventions!

Steps:
- Remove the red plastic sheath from around the bologna. Run through a chopper or food processor. Don't process it too much, just enough to make it a salad or spread-type consistency. Run the celery and onion through the chopper as well to achieve a fine minced consistency.
- Add salad dressing and the rest of the ingredients. Mix together very well to blend the flavors. Refrigerate in a plastic container with a tight fitting lid until you are ready to use it. (If you refrigerate it overnight before using it, it will taste even better!!)
- This makes a lot of sandwiches for an occasion or for your own use at home. It really does taste like a deviled ham spread, but is made with bologna! And the cost per serving is nominal, as opposed to buying a prepared ham spread! Bon Apetit' Y'all!
Tips:
- Use a sweet pickle relish for a tangy and sweet flavor in your ham salad.
- For a creamier ham salad, use mayonnaise instead of mustard.
- Add chopped celery and onion for a crunchy texture.
- Season the ham salad with salt and pepper to taste.
- For a more flavorful ham salad, use a variety of mustards, such as Dijon, yellow, or spicy brown mustard.
- If you don't have celery, you can use chopped water chestnuts for a similar crunch.
- For a more tangy ham salad, add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice.
- If you're making the ham salad ahead of time, be sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, Po' Man's Ham Salad is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways.
