I received this recipe during a recipe swap a few years back. It is super simple and tasty. It can be served as an appetizer with carrot sticks and crackers, or as a lunch served on a croissant or sandwich bread. This recipe is a great way to use up some of that leftover holiday ham!

ANDREA'S EASY HAM SALAD (FOR SANDWICHES)

Andrea's Easy Ham Salad (For Sandwiches) image

I'm not so great at baking whole hams, but I love when my Mom sends me leftover ham that she has cooked. Hubby loves ham salad sandwiches, and whenever we get ham, his first question is always "Are you going to make that ham salad?" It's just been a matter of experimentation to come up with it. It's quick and easy, with common ingredients. Hope you enjoy it as we do. I'm not really sure how many sandwiches this makes--enough for a couple of days for our small family. Let me know if the servings are off. (And I guess it depends on how thick you like your sandwiches.) Can be served on any type of bread, but I have found rye really complements ham salad.
