- What to do With Leftovers
- Store leftovers in an airtight container.
- Leftovers are good for about 5 days. Take into account how long the ham has been in the refrigerator after opening it.
- Freezing is not recommended. The mayonnaise will break.
- Lettuce Wraps: Add your salad to a piece of romaine, bibb, or butter lettuce.
- Sandwiches: Add the salad to your favorite white, wheat, or rye bread with a piece of lettuce.
- Spread: Try to serve it in a bowl with various crackers.
- Charcuterie Boards: Serve it on your charcuterie boards or grazing platters.
