My favorite super simple recipe for a traditional ham salad is  perfect for making sandwiches or ham salad spread on crackers! With  just a few tasty mix-ins and a little time in the food processor, you’ll  have an easy lunch in minutes!

Ingredients 1 lb ham (cooked ham, cubed or diced - 1 ½ cups or 10 ounces) 1 cup celery (diced) ½ cup mayonnaise ¼ cup dill pickle  1 teaspoon Dijon mustard ground black pepper (to taste)

Prep the ham. To start the deviled ham recipe, use a  food processor to grind 1 ½ cups of cubed, cooked ham down to a finer  consistency.

Prep the ham. Pulse the ham in short intervals until it reaches a dry  ground ham appearance (but don’t process it so much that the ham turns into a paste).

Add ingredients. Transfer your processed ham to a large  mixing bowl and add the rest of the ingredients: 3 tablespoons of  mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons of yellow mustard, 5 drops of hot pepper sauce, 1  teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon ground  black pepper, ½ teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon celery salt. If desired, you can also add ¼ cup each of finely chopped celery and onion.

Combine & chill. Mix the ham, mayo, and seasonings thoroughly until well-combined. You can transfer to a serving bowl if desired. Then, cover your bowl with plastic cling film and refrigerate to chill and combine flavors for at least 1 hour before serving.

Savory, creamy deviled ham is amazing as an appetizer or spread on sandwiches for lunch! If  serving as an appetizer, serve with buttery crackers and vegetables  like celery, baby carrots, sliced bell peppers, and sliced radishes!
