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.

MY FAVORITE BOLOGNA OR HAM SALAD FOR SANDWICHES



My Favorite Bologna or Ham Salad for Sandwiches image

I grew up only knowing this by Ham Salad which is what my Mom and local Deli's up North called it. She said it was the "Poor Man's Ham Salad" which never contained any ham, just bologna, but giving it the wonderful flavor and color of what could have been ham. We loved it. I made it for my children as they grew up and it is still requested though they are adults now. I am in my 50's and still make it for myself as a snack spread or sandwich. I've seen a variation of recipes for this, tried some and still think mine is my favorite. Let me know what you think?

Time 15m

Yield 2 pounds, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb of your favorite bologna
0.75 (12 ounce) package sliced American cheese
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
1/4 cup real mayonnaise (can use Miracle Whip)

Steps:

  • Do not use Velveeta for this recipe, it does not store well.
  • I suggest a food processor for this recipe unless you prefer a meat grinder. Use a large bowl with tight lid for storing.
  • Take all the bologna out of the packaging and quarter.
  • Unwrap all the cheese slices (if in wrap) and quarter as well.
  • Place half the meat and half the cheese in processor and pulse until semi-chunky. It should look spreadable. Scoop in bowl.
  • Add remaining bologna and cheese, process.
  • Place rest in large bowl and add relish, mix well.
  • Add 1/2 of the mayo, stir. You can choose the consistency if you prefer. I like it a bit more mayonnaisy. Add rest if preferred.
  • You can use either Miracle Whip or real Mayo, both are great. I like the real mayo because it works better with crackers.
  • Serve on either a hamburger bun (kid's favorite), sandwich bread, or club crackers.
  • Store remaining spread in fridge, it can last up to one week.

GOOD OL' HOOSIER HAM SALAD



GOOD OL' HOOSIER HAM SALAD image

Another trip down memory lane for me. I grew up on this stuff! I especially love it on toast, and it has to be cut diagonally or it just doesn't taste right! And if you can't have toast, the next best thing is white bread.
