  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 9 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups fully cooked ham, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
  • 1 cup mayo, or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • Crackers or bread for serving

Instructions

  2. Refrigerate until serving time.
  3. To serve, spread mixture on crackers or use on bread to make into sandwiches.

Notes

  • Using a food processor makes it super simple to mix this up.
  • Properly stored in an airtight container, ham salad typically lasts 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator. Be sure to check for freshness before serving.
  • Freezing is not recommended due to the mayonnaise, which can separate and result in a less appealing texture when thawed. It’s best to make fresh batches.
