Ham Salad
Description
This Ham Salad recipe mixes cooked ham, which is finely chopped or ground, with diced hard boiled eggs, celery, onion, and sweet relish for added flavor and crunch. Mayonnaise and yellow mustard bind the ingredients into a creamy salad. The ingredients are combined in a bowl and chilled for at least two hours to allow flavors to meld and the salad to firm up slightly.
The salad can be served cold on crackers or buns, making it suitable for sandwiches, snacks, or casual meals. The texture balances the meat with the crisp vegetables and soft eggs, with the relish contributing sweetness and moisture.
Storage recommendations advise keeping the salad refrigerated and consuming within five days for best freshness. While freezing is possible, it's generally not advised because mayonnaise-based salads can separate upon thawing. Instead, freezing the ham before preparation is recommended if needed.
Ingredients
- 3 cups ham finely chopped or ground
- 1 Tablespoon yellow mustard
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 egg diced, hard boiled
- 1 Tablespoon sweet relish
- 1 Tablespoon onion finely diced
- 1 Tablespoon celery finely diced
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl.
- Cover and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Serve on crackers or a bun.
Notes
- The ham salad keeps well refrigerated for up to five days when stored properly.
- Freezing the prepared salad is not recommended due to mayonnaise separation, though freezing ham before making the salad is an option.
- Use a food processor or immersion blender to quickly chop ham to the desired consistency, but avoid overprocessing.
