Ham Salad
A creamy, tangy, and slightly crunchy salad perfect for sandwiches, crackers, or enjoying on its own. A great way to use up leftover ham!
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups finely chopped ham The star of the dish! Leftover ham works perfectly.
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onions Adds a bit of crunch and mild sharpness.
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery For a fresh and crispy texture.
- 2 tablespoons sweet relish Balances the flavors with a hint of sweetness.
- 1/2 teaspoon dill weed Gives a mild herby taste.
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise Makes the salad creamy and rich.
- 1 tablespoon mustard Adds a tangy kick! You can use yellow or Dijon.
Optional Add-ins
- hard-boiled eggs (chopped) Adds extra creaminess and protein.
- a splash of lemon juice Brightens up the flavors.
- black pepper or paprika For an extra layer of seasoning.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped ham, onions, celery, sweet relish, dill weed, mayonnaise, and mustard.
- Using a spoon or spatula, mix everything until all the ingredients are well combined and coated in the creamy dressing.
- For the best flavor, cover the bowl and let the salad chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to blend beautifully.
- Serve the ham salad on bread, with crackers, or as a dip. It’s delicious in sandwiches, wraps, or even on a bed of lettuce for a low-carb option.
