Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 7 minutes mins
- 3 cups fully cooked ham roughly diced (leftover or get honey-roasted ham from a shop for a sweeter flavor)
- 1 cup celery roughly chopped (for a delicious crunch)
- 1/2 cup onion roughly diced
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Add-Ins
- 3 tbsp sweet relish
- 1 tsp mustard or dijon
- 1/2 cup dill choppped
- 1 green onion thinly sliced
Place the ham, onion, and celery separately in a food processor and pulse a few times until they are finely minced, but not pureed!
Transfer the finely minced ham mixture to a mixing bowl. Add all the remaining ingredients (mayonnaise, sweet relish, mustard, dill, salt, and pepper) to the bowl and mix well until fully combined.Note: Please refrain from using excessive mayonnaise unless you're aiming for a runnier salad like mine. I can't fathom why I chose to squeeze out my entire mayonnaise tube! I felt utterly disappointed, but I've granted myself forgiveness, recognizing I'm no gourmet chef—just a learner embracing lessons from mishaps! Serve the ham salad with crackers, as a sandwich, or store it in the fridge until ready to serve.
