WINTER BLOSSOM'S OFTEN REQUESTED HAM SALAD



Winter Blossom's Often Requested Ham Salad image

I have been making this salad for years and recently traveled from NJ to Oklahoma to make a batch for one of my friends. I have also Overnighted this salad to a friend in Dallas who simply loves it. Of course, I pack it in dry ice. It's fast, simple and great for a cocktail party on party rye, on toast or a bagel for breakfast, on rye with lettuce, thinly sliced onions and dill (or sweet)pickles and mayo for lunch or with pea soup and sandwich for dinner. It's down right Yummy!!! And make no changes to the ingredients because the salad will not taste the same.

Time 2h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ½ pounds cooked ham, chopped
¾ cup mayonnaise, or as needed
⅓ cup dried minced onion
⅓ cup dill pickle relish
¼ cup brown mustard

Steps:

  • Process the ham in a food processor until finely chopped but not pasty, about 6 or 7 pulses. You may need to do this in batches. Place the finely chopped ham in a large bowl and continue processing the remaining ham.
  • Add the mayonnaise, onions, relish, and mustard to the processed ham. Mix well and, if the mixture is too dry, add more mayonnaise. Refrigerate until serving. The dried onions absorb some of the moisture from the mayonnaise and relish so you may need to add more mayonnaise before serving.

SLUG SALAD



Slug Salad image

The slug in this recipe refers to the texture of the mandarin oranges. This is from the Firehouse Food: Cooking with San Francisco's Firefighters cookbook. They suggest only to use Girard's Champagne Dressing- but I'll leave that up to you.

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 teaspoons butter
1/3 cup slivered almonds
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 heads butter lettuce, washed and torn into bite-sized pieces
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
2 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges, drained
champagne dressing

Steps:

  • To caramelize the almonds: Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and saute until golden, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the brown sugar and stir to combine. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet, separating them. Set aside to cool. When completely cooled, the almonds will have a hard, candied coating.
  • To assemble the salad: In a large bowl, toss the lettuce with the red onion, blue cheese, mandarin oranges, and dressing to taste.
  • Sprinkle the almonds over the salad and serve immediately.
