Why You’ll Love This Old-Fashioned Ham Salad Recipe
The Easiest Way to Use Ham Leftovers. While I do love Ham Casserole and Scalloped Potatoes and Ham, when I want a low effort way to put leftover ham to use, I turn to this old-fashioned ham salad recipe. Four ingredients, 10 minutes of prep, and boom: lunch is served.
So Many Serving Options. You can tuck ham salad into lettuce leaves or pitas, use it as a ham spread for sandwiches, or make it into a snack with crackers. You’ll love it for meal prep lunches too!
Flavor and Texture in Spades. Ham is smoky, savory, and just a little bit sweet, so you don’t really need to add all that much to make it into a top-notch salad. Greek yogurt (or mayo) makes it creamy, celery adds a delightful crunch, and dill pickles are the pièce de résistance, giving our salad just the right amount of vinegar-y tang.
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces ham diced into 1/4-inch cubes (about 1 1/2 cups)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or mayo
- 2 celery stalks 1/4-inch diced (about 3/4 cup)
- 5 dill pickles chips roughly chopped (about 1/4 cup)
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives optional
- Crackers or bread for serving
