Ham Salad Sandwich

How to make Ham Salad Sandwich:

Ham salad sandwich. Put it in a sandwich, eat it plain, add it to macaroni; it’s all good.

 The basic components are finely diced or ground ham (I could have done a better job dicing the ham for the sandwich pictured), sweet pickle relish (must be sweet, not dill), and hard boiled eggs. Then something for crunch (celery and/or bell peppers) and mayo to bind it.

Ham Salad Sandwich makes 3-4.

2 cups finely diced ham

3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

1 Tbsp lemon juice

1/4 cup sweet pickle relish

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 Tbsp minced red bell pepper

2 Tbsp minced celery

1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

2 Tbsp minced onion

2 Tsp Dijon mustard

Salt and black pepper to taste

A large pinch of cayenne (optional)

1. Mix everything but the salt, pepper and cayenne in a large bowl. Taste and add cayenne, salt and black pepper to taste. Serve chilled.

2. Serve straight, or mixed in with macaroni, or in a sandwich in a hamburger bun, a Kaiser roll, regular bread, in a pita or as a wrap. Good with lemonade on a hot day.
