Key Ingredients
Cooked Ham – Use either leftover ham or head to the store for a pound of boneless, fully cooked ham. Honey-glazed or smoked, really any type of ham will work here, so go ahead and use what you prefer! Celery – Offers an incredible crunch and does amazing things for the overall texture of this ham salad. I chop my celery into about 1/4 inch pieces, but feel free to chop larger or smaller based on your preferences. Sweet Pickle Relish – You could use chopped pickles, but the relish offers a handful of spices that maximize the flavor. I find when using sweet pickle relish, your ham salad won’t even need additional spices like salt or pepper.
Chef’s Tips
