Classic Ham Salad
This classic, very retro ham salad, also known as deviled ham, is a love it or hate it recipe – and I fall on the LOVE it side!
Servings: 24
Calories: 51kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked ham cubed
- 1 large egg hard boiled & chopped
- 1/4 cup celery finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons minced onion
Mayo Salad Dressing
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp sweet pickle relish
- 2 teaspoons prepared mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 pinch caraway seeds to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the ham, egg, celery, and onion in a food processor.
- Use the pulse feature in short bursts, about 15-20 times to mince - not puree - the ham and other ingredients. Scrape down the sides of the food processor every so often to make sure that everything is combined and minced.
- Combine the ingredients for the mayo dressing in a medium-sized bowl, taste-testing and adding more ingredients to taste. I prefer a bit more relish in mine!
- Scrape the ham mixture into the mayo dressing and combine thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least a few hours before serving, but this is best if left overnight for the flavors to meld together.
