Leftover Easter Ham taking up space in the fridge?? Try this super-simple ham salad, which can be made with ingredients you probably already have on hand!
Here’s what you need:
- Leftover Easter Ham – bone-in, boneless, spiral-sliced, doesn’t matter. No leftovers? A ham steak works great, too!
- Celery and Onion – I recommend a yellow or Vidalia onion. The celery adds a nice crunch and lots of flavor.
- Hard Boiled Eggs – they add a certain texture and richness.
- Relish – some like it sweet, some prefer dill, or even rough-chop a pickle. If you aren’t a fan of relish, leave it out. There’s no rules here!
- Mayonnaise – being from the south, it’s only Duke’s for me, but if you prefer Hellman’s or Miracle Whip, knock yourself out.
- Mustard – yep, it may sound odd, but it adds a nice flavor contrast. I recommend Dijon, but Spicy Brown or even yellow prepared work well.

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Place diced ham, coarsely-chopped celery, onion, and hard-boiled egg into a food processor and pulse 25-30 times, or until finely minced and thoroughly incorporated. Scrape down sides periodically if needed.
-
Combine mayonnaise, mustard, and relish in a medium-sized bowl. Add minced ham mixture and gently fold in with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until thoroughly mixed.
-
Place a lid on the bowl or cover with plastic wrap and chill for a few hours before serving. Ham salad will keep in the fridge for 4-5 days. Freezing is not recommended as mayonnaise tends to separate when it thaws.
-
Serve on fresh croissants, or bread of choice, topped with lettuce, tomato, and cheese if desired. (Also great on crackers as a dip)!! Enjoy!
