Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 322kcal
Equipment
- 1 large food processor
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds cooked ham boneless smoked or country ham
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 medium dill pickle spears diced
- 1 medium stalk celery diced
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add your cooked leftover ham to the food processor and pulse a few times, until the ham is broken into smaller pieces.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the food processor, pulsing until everything is evenly mixed together. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the food processor as-needed. Don’t over-blend—you want a bit of texture.
- Add to a medium bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately, or chill ham salad for 30 minutes for best flavor.

Cooking Tips
- Use the pulse button on the food processor, instead of just turning it on. This will help mix everything, and prevent making everything too smooth.
- You can make this ahead of time and place it in the refrigerator. The flavor only gets better after an hour or so!
- You don't have to warm the ham. Think of this like tuna salad, but with ham instead. The cold ham will work better with the mayo, instead of melting the dressing.
