This ham salad is a simple and traditional recipe that is perfect for making sandwiches or ham salad spread on crackers! It's fantastic for putting your leftover ham to good use! With just a few tasty mix-ins and a little time in the food processor, you’ll have an easy lunch in minutes!
Pulse the cooked, cubed ham in a food processor to reach a broken-down texture (but not too much as the ham will turn to a gummy paste).
1 lb ham
Transfer the chopped ham into a medium-sized mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients (chopped celery, mayonnaise, dill pickle, Dijon mustard, and ground black pepper). Stir until evenly distributed and you have a smooth ham salad mixture. Add more mayonnaise for a creamier consistency if desired.
1 cup celery, ½ cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup dill pickle, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, ground black pepper
Cover and chill before serving, then enjoy with some crackers or as a ham salad sandwich.
