Ham Salad makes the best use of leftover ham! It's creamy and tangy, packed with crunchy vegetables, salty ham, and a little sweet pickle relish.

Ingredients

1 pound chopped cooked ham (I recommend a good smoked ham!)
½ cup good quality mayonnaise
½ cup sweet pickle relish, drained from the jar with a slotted spoon
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 green onion, minced
2 tablespoon minced yellow onion
2 tablespoon minced red bell pepper
2 tablespoon minced celery
2 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoon minced fresh chives
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill (use more if you really like dill)
¼ teaspoon cayenne (if you don’t like heat, try just a pinch to start out with)
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Using a food processor, pulse the chopped ham until you have very small pieces. Take care to not over-process into a mushy texture. Transfer ham to a medium bowl and add the rest of the ingredients, folding to combine.
Serve chilled. Serve as a sandwich spread or a topper for crackers or cucumber slices. Also good served on a plate of fresh greens.
