Ingredients
- 1 lb smoked ham, cut in rough chunks
- 1/3 cup relish or finely minced cornichons (you can process the pickles with the ham if you like.)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tsp creamy Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Put the ham into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Give the machine 50-60 short pulses, until the ham is evenly ground and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if necessary to make sure everything gets evenly minced.
- Transfer the ham to a bowl along with the relish or minced cornichons.
- Mix the mayo, mustard, and salt until smooth. Taste it to see if it needs any adjustments. Toss the salad with the dressing until well combined.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
