LEEK SPREAD (DIP)



Leek Spread (Dip) image

This one was hard to post. Its done by taste. I did my best with instructions but solely depends on your taste. How strong do you want it? Add more leeks, etc. But over all a fantastic tasting dip. Reminds me of a ham salad sandwich spread. SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOD!

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (8 ounce) box Ritz crackers
1/2 lb deli ham, chopped
1/3 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sweet relish
1 teaspoon pickle juice
3 -4 leeks, fresh

Steps:

  • Add ham, leeks and relish into a food processor or something that chops well (I use my magic bullet).
  • When all is finely chopped pour into serving dish.
  • Add mayo and pickle juice. Taste it. Add more relish mayo or pickle juice.
  • You may want to add more leeks if you want it stronger.
  • Chill in fridge 3 hours. The longer sets in fridge the stronger it gets.
  • This keeps about 2 days chilled but then becomes watery.
  • People rave over this. Enjoy.
