Tasty Old-Fashioned Ham Salad: Make a Sandwich That Will Blow You Away

When I was a little girl I remember my grandma making ham salad spread for grandpa almost every day for lunch. I never thought the stuff looked very good until I got up the courage to try it. I instantly loved it! Talk about a yummy treat for lunch! You can make this ham salad using leftover ham or you can go the “poor man” route and use bologna or hot dogs. I think it all tastes delicious and you will, too.

Check out what my friend Betsy had to say about this recipe:

This is one of my favorite ham salad recipes to date!

Ingredients

1/2 cup Kraft mayonnaise, plus more if needed

2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard

1 pound leftover baked ham, cut into 1-inch chunks

1 1/4 cups drained bread-and-butter pickle chips and 1 tablespoon pickle juice, plus more if needed 

2 inner ribs celery, finely chopped, plus 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped leaves from the inner ribs

1/2 small red onion, finely chopped

 

Instructions

Mix together the mayo and mustard together in a 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.
