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 POTATO SALAD
As a young college student, I was usually pretty broke...but that didn't stop me from eating well! My dear grandmother taught me this simple recipe because it was easy to prepare and the ingredients didn't cost much. These days my budget doesn't have to stretch quite so far, but I still keep the recipe in my files. Poor Man's Potato Salad serves two nicely, and complements many meals.

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
Tips:
- Use leftover ham. This is a great way to use up leftover ham from a holiday meal or a ham steak dinner.
- Choose a good quality mayonnaise. The mayonnaise is one of the main ingredients in ham salad, so it's important to choose a good quality one. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil, and avoid mayonnaise that contains a lot of sugar or additives.
- Add some crunch. Ham salad is often served on bread or crackers, so it's nice to add some crunch to the salad. This can be done by adding chopped celery, onion, or pickle relish.
- Add some flavor. Ham salad can be a bit bland, so it's important to add some flavor. This can be done by adding mustard, horseradish, or paprika.
- Chill the ham salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together and will make the salad more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Ham salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a sandwich, on a salad, or as a dip. It's a great way to use up leftover ham, and it's also a budget-friendly meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious ham salad that the whole family will enjoy.
