Ham Salad Recipe
Description
The Ham Salad Recipe features diced ham mixed with finely chopped hard-boiled eggs that add richness and a soft texture. The mayonnaise and Dijon mustard bind the ingredients, providing creaminess and a touch of sharpness. Sweet relish contributes mild sweetness and moisture, while minced carrot, red onion, and celery introduce crispness and fresh flavor contrasts. Seasoned with kosher salt, white pepper, and optionally hot sauce, the salad achieves a well-rounded taste profile.
The salad is refrigerated for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld and improve the consistency. It is commonly served chilled as a spread on bread or crackers, making it convenient for sandwiches or as a snack component.
Your notes suggest substitutions like plain Greek yogurt or mashed avocado to adjust the texture or nutritional profile if desired, allowing customization based on preference.
