  • ¼ tsp. black pepper

Instructions

  • Add diced ham and onion to the food processor. Pulse until ham is finely minced. Place mixture in a mixing bowl.
  • Mix ham & onion mixture with mayo, relish and black pepper until well combined.
  • Salad can be eaten right away, but allowing it to sit for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator will allow flavors to meld together.

Notes

  • Yields about 3 cups.
  • I love using thick sliced white bread to make a ham salad sandwich. There's just something nostalgic about it. Add a couple leaves of romaine lettuce for some extra crunch, if desired.
  • You can also serve a scoop of salad on wheat bread, buns, a wrap or croissants.
  • Turn the ham salad into an appetizer by serving it on crackers, too!
