Boy, do I LOVE ham salad sandwiches!

One of the best reasons to cook a ham is to grind up the leftovers with pickles and onions, and mix with mayo for the BEST sandwich filling!

My mother always added a couple of hard-boiled eggs to the mix (probably after Easter), and I do believe it makes a difference!

I never measure, since it depends on how much ham I have. I've guesstimated, below.

Ham Salad

In a food processor, pulse each item separately, till finely chopped:

1 lb. leftover ham
half a large onion
10 kosher dill gherkins (dried in a paper towel)
3 hard-boiled eggs

Mix together and add enough Hellman's mayo to bind. Add pepper to taste.

Try not to eat it all before you actually get it onto the bread!

P.S. The first photo is before mixing in the mayo - it looks SO pretty that way!

Me too Lee...I've been having them all week for lunch. I like to add a little lemon juice to mine too.

Super timing, I just happen to have some ham and boiled eggs. I never think about ham salad. But I do now thanks, sure looks good. CF

I love ham salad also. Good post Lee. I agree with CF, awesome timing. We have some ham left over and DW's making soup beans with it today. maybe there will be enough left over to make up some ham salad also. Thanks for the idea.
