Mom's Ham Salad Recipe

My Mom used to make a version of this recipe but with bologna. I use ham in my recipe and it's perfect for leftover ham.

Serving Ideas 
  • I like to serve this as an appetizer with salty crackers.

  • Eat it for breakfast and serve it with scrambled eggs or hard-boiled eggs.
  • Veg it up! Add chopped celery, chopped carrots, and chopped onion.
