Ingredients
  

For the Salad

  • 2 cups finely diced ham Use leftover holiday ham or diced sandwich ham.
  • 1 cup finely diced pickles Add more or less based on taste.
  • 1/2 cup finely diced onions Use red or white onions.

For the Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise Use good quality mayo.
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Adjust for more zing if desired.
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Add additional for flavor, if desired.
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Adjust to taste.
  • optional garlic Add if you like a kick.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a bowl, combine the finely diced ham, pickles, and onions. Stir gently to keep the chunks distinct.
  • In a separate small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
  • Pour the dressing over the ham mixture and stir until well combined. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve the ham salad scooped into crusty bread, on a bed of lettuce, or portioned into meal-prep containers.

Notes

Store ham salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freezing is not recommended due to mayonnaise.
