Old Fashioned Ham Salad
Our family favorite recipe for ham salad uses a mixture of both mayo and miracle whip, onion, mustard and relish to make (in our opinion) the best ham salad. Serve with crackers and Swiss cheese for the ultimate savory treat!
Equipment
- Food Processor
Ingredients
- 2 cups ham fat trimmed off and diced
- ½ cup miracle whip
- ¼ cup mayo
- 2 tsp. dried onion flakes
- 1 tsp. stone ground mustard
- 1 Tbsp. sweet pickle relish You could use Dill pickle relish instead if you prefer
- Garnish:
- Crackers Wheat Thins and Ritz are both great!
- Swiss cheese slices cut into squares
Instructions
- Dice the ham into 1/2″ cubes. Add all of the remaining ingredients except for the relish to a food processor and pulse until chunky. (You want it to be smooth enough to spread on crackers, but not so smooth that it becomes a paste. Check every few pulses and watch closely to get the desired consistency).
- Transfer the spread to a mixing bowl and stir in relish. Set in the fridge to chill for a few hours for the best flavor, but if you eat it immediately it is still great.
- Serve with crackers and Swiss cheese.
