"I made some changes to the original recipe by adding extra tomatoes, more color, celery for crunch, relish for a hint of sweetness and ham to make it more filling," explains Karen Ballance of Wolf Lake, Illinois. "It's great for picnics and potlucks or as a side dish for any meal," she adds. "It's also handy because you make it ahead of time."

This salad was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I'll try using less mayonnaise next time.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have a few slices left over after a holiday meal, and this is the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise-based salads, but this one is an exception. The dressing is light and tangy, and it doesn't overpower the other ingredients.
