Ham Salad for Sandwiches

Very good taste. The flavor was exactly what I was looking for. The texture just didn't do it for me though. I did reduce the mayonnaise a bit, I made a half recipe and used about 1/3 cup and it was just enough. The problem I had was even though I diced the ham quite small, the mixture didn't hold together well, and made eating the sandwich a bit messy. I will definitely make again. I'm thinking of just tossing everything in the food processor and pulsing a few times to see if that improves the texture. Thanks Inez for a great start!

I specially liked this because it was not swimming in mayonnaise. It does need to chill so that the minced onion softens.

Tasty sandwich spread, I made it for sandwiches we took on a picnic. I used some finely chopped red onion in place of the minced kind.

This is a delicious sandwich spread, but the consistancy is a bit 'soupy'. I will definitely make this again, but will try just one cup of mayo to see if that dries it out to the texture I most prefer.There's certainly nothing lacking in flavor!

I made a much scaled down version of this recipe and didn't measure anything. The ingredients blended together very well and I will not hesitate to make this again. I likely will never get the same consistency but I'm sure the taste will be there.

I am giving this five stars because it is so retro. Took me right back to the 50s when my Mom often made something like this, and that's just what I was looking for. I used to help grind the ham (sometimes bologna) in the good old table-top hand-cranked grinder. Now I use my good old food processor. This is salty, but tastes good. It makes a good sandwich by itself, but today I enjoyed the last of it by laying sliced mozzarella cheese on half a small baguette, then piling ham salad on top. This made good work lunches all week. Thank you, MizzNezz, for sharing a fond food memory from the past.

I ground my ham and added about 1/4 tsp of celery seeds, as a personal prefence, It tasted every bit as good without them. I loved the extra flavor the worcestershire sauce added. We will definitely be keeping this recipe and using it often. Since the ham I used was ground we were also able to use this as a cracker spread without pieces of ham falling off the crackers.

Very good! Ground the ham in the food proccesser, used hot dog relish instead of sweet relish and added one large stalk of celery, minced. Other than that just as written. Yummy!

I scaled this down to 3 servings since I was making a variety of sandwiches for my BF for lunch today. I don't think I have ever eaten ham salad before but the picture Parsley posted really peaked my interest. I thought it was just a little watery, but that could be easily fixed by reducing the mayo just a tad. I really liked the tang of the onions with the sweet relish. My BF didn't really care for it, but I thought it was a different take on just a plain ham sandwich. I got the deli to slice my ham about 1/4" thick so it was very easy for me to dice it into little pieces without having to pull out my mini processor to chop the ham... plus I hate extra dishes to wash!!! Thanks for posting!!!

delicious flavor... make sure ham is patted dry or water from it makes mayo mixture too thin. Also start with only half the mayo asked for and add more if needed. will make again! I used dill relish as that is our preference. thankyou

My husband and step-son love ham salad sandwiches. I halved the recipe with great result. A well-balanced blend of ingredients that tasted super together. I liked the little zing from the Worcestershire sauce. As is my usual, I didn't measure the mayo, just added until it was the right consistency for our tastes--ended up using about 1/2 cup. The guys were both happy with it too. Perfect for lunch or an after-school snack. Thanks Inez.

This recipe makes quit a large amount. Not something I would make just for a family of 4. However it was great for a pot luck lunch. I also just used enough mayo to moisten. I enjoyed it. Thanks.

My husband just loves Ham Salad Sandwiches. I made this recipe with a few adjustments. I used fresh cooked smoked ham and did all the mixing in my food processor. He now prefers this recipe over the store bought ham salad.

This was very good. I used 2 lbs of turkey ham, 1 tsp of worcestershire sauce, 2 diced stalks of celery and 4 green onions. It was very soupy like many of the other reviews said when everything was initially in the bowl, but then I used my stick blender to whiz it all together and it made it more of a pate-ish consistency and it integrated the mayo in, so it didn't seem so mayo-ish. The result is very tasty - though it does look a lot like wet cat food.

Excellent, followed thr recipe except I used a shallot. We had left over ham from recipe 46922, Awesome Baked Ham. The ham was a Cumberland Gap, low sodium, no water added ham. Both are 5 Star recipes and so easy

Durn! I hate to be in the minority here but it didn't quite work for us. Both DH and I enjoyed it as we were taste testing it right out of the food processor but the next day when we had sandwiches neither of us enjoyed it at all. We both agreed it was probably the way the onion came together with the Worcestershire. Sorry we couln't give it higher marks but thanks for sharing!

Yummy. I don't like ham salad, but had to make sandwiches for a church festival. This one was okay. Not too sweet, not to salty. I didn't measure the mayo. (actually I used Miracle Whip). I added enough to give the salad the right consistancy. A church member requested a ham salad with mustard. So I added a little mustard. Yummy.
