Old Fashioned Ham Salad (With Eggs)
This classic ham salad sports the addition of hard cooked eggs for a little something special.
Ingredients
- 2 cups finely diced ham
- 2 hard cooked eggs (or ½ cup more ham)
- 1 stalk celery finely chopped
- ½ cup minced green bell pepper
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- Optional: 1 tablespoon fresh chopped chives or chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Fold to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste (it may not need much).
- Serve by itself, on sandwiches (I love croissants or sourdough), or with crackers for scooping it up.
Notes
To hard cook the eggs, place them in a steamer basket over an inch of boiling water in a saucepan. Cover and let steam, over medium heat, for 12 minutes. Chill in an ice bath and then peel. (I find eggs cooked with this steaming method are much easier to peel than hard boiled eggs!)
Don't have chives? Use a couple tablespoons of grated onion instead.
You can use a food processor or a meat grinder for the ham instead of chopping, if you'd like.
You can use dijon or yellow mustard here.
Leftovers will keep in the fridge for several days. Give it a stir before serving.
