Southern Ham Salad

Southern Ham Salad is a rich and creamy dish that turns leftover ham into a delightful blend of flavors. It’s a great choice for gatherings or weeknight dinners.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 – 3 ½ cups fully cooked ham
  • 1 large hard-boiled egg
  • 2 tablespoons chopped sweet pickles
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle juice
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 stalk finely chopped celery

Instructions

  • Assemble all ingredients, ensuring ham is cooked and cooled.
  • Finely chop ham, egg, pickles, pickle juice, pepper, and mayonnaise in a food processor until well blended.
  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the chopped celery.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning before covering and chilling in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Notes

Finely chop the ham for the best texture; a sharp knife works if a food processor isn’t available.
Chilling enhances the flavors and helps the salad come together.
