Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fully cooked ham
  • 2 celery stalks
  • ½ of a small onion
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional - 2 hard-boiled eggs
  • Optional - sandwich rolls or crackers

Instructions
 

  • Place the ham, hard-boiled eggs, celery, and onion in a large food processor and pulse until finely chopped. You can also chop everything by hand until finely diced but this will add time to the recipe.
  • Combine the ham mixture, mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, and mustard in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Taste the ham spread and add salt and black pepper if needed.
  • Refrigerate until time to serve, 1 – 2 hours is best for flavor.
  • Serve on sandwich rolls or crackers.

Notes

  • If you need to make the hard-boiled egg, the time to make this recipe will increase.
  • If you want spicy ham salad, try adding horseradish.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
