Ham Salad

Ham salad is great snack that can use up all of your leftover ham from Easter, Thanksgiving or any holiday. You want your ham salad to be on the drier side, so I tend to add the mayonnaise a tablespoon at a time to help control this. Serve on your favorite cracker as a snack or on two slices of toasted bread with some crisp lettuce.

    Duke's mayonnaise

    • Step 6

  • Refrigerate in an air-tight container for at least a couple of hours to allow the flavors to meld. Serve on saltine crackers or toasted bread.
