One of the things I liked best about Easter dinner was the left over ham. I'd been wanting ham salad sandwiches and after a couple of meals of leftover ham and the sides that went with it, we were ready. This recipe for Ham Salad Spread will make a good spread for sandwiches all summer when you want a lighter meal and a change from the usual deli meat sandwiches. You could even serve it on a lettuce leaf as a salad itself.
Besides tasting good, it is easy to prepare. Don't have left over ham? Use some cubed ham from the grocery store, already cooked. Want a smaller amount? Just reduce the ingredients, maybe one egg, a little chopped celery and pickle relish, a dash of mustard, and enough mayonnaise to make the consistency spreadable.
HAM SALAD SPREAD
3 cups ground fully cooked ham
2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped celery
4 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
Directions: Mix ham, eggs, celery, and pickle relish together in a bowl. Combine mayonnaise and mustard together in a separate bowl, pour over ham mixture. Stir to coat. Refrigerate until serving time.
Ham was the star of Easter dinner, but the other dishes were great also. |
