Ham Leftovers? Make Ham Salad!

What to do with those last little bits of Easter ham leftovers?  Make Ham Salad, of course!  And then enjoy it as a yummy sandwich filling or as a topping on crackers.  Either way, it's delicious.

So, do you still have ham in the fridge from last Sunday's Easter dinner?  Until lunch time today, I did.  But not anymore.  Nope.  I transformed the last bit today into this creamy, comfort-food ham salad.  And then ...
I said good-bye to it by gobbling it all up for lunch.

I must say, it met a very tasty demise!

Truth be told, though, I stole my ham leftovers.

Okay, so not really stole.  I took them from the ham my Mom cooked for Easter, to be exact.  Yes, I still get away with taking absolutely zero responsibility for our family's Easter dinner and have the luxury of simply helping my Mom out.  But I still get the benefits of enjoying leftovers since Mom sends me and the hubby home with a doggie bag each year.

Nothing says comfort food like creamy and delicious ham salad.  Just perfect for using up those ham leftovers!

But I think I took a little more ham this year than Mom really wanted me to.  Don't worry, Mom! ... I assure you it didn't go to waste.

I've always been a fan of ham salad, and love to eat it both in sandwiches and slathered on top of crackers.  Either way is just fine with me.

When I make my salad, I like to include a generous amount of pickle relish ... though now I use salad cubes instead ...

... Salad cubes taste the same as sweet pickle relish, but they're in bigger chunks and less 'mushy' than relish.  They add a wonderful bit of texture and crunch to the finished salad.

So if you've got that laaaaaast little bit of ham left that you don't want to go to waste, whip up this easy, creamy ham salad.

Enjoy it as a yummy sandwich filling or as a topping on crackers.  Either way, it's delicious. 

I'm sure you'll enjoy its very tasty demise, too.

Thank you for stopping by . We'd love to have you back soon!
