Made this as I was looking for a ham salad recipe that was a little different. I hadn't ever thought of cheese in it! I forgot the mustard, and I think next time I'll throw in a few jalepenos in the mix. YUM. Don't think this will last the day in this house. Thanks for the recipe Barrett!

Try adding a couple of healthy shakes of cayenne pepper. I add it to egg salad also. Gives it a little kick. Of course cayenne lives on my counter next to the kosher salt and pepper mill.

I've been making homemade ham salad for over 25 years and I never considered adding cheese, even though I seem to find a way to work cheese into as many recipes as possible. I use Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise, and also add a couple of tablespoons chopped onion in my ham salad. The addition of cheese made an easy and tasty recipe even better. If anyone finds the recipe too dry, I suggest adding a little more mayo and mustard until the salad reaches your desired consistency. It really is as simple as that.

We had some leftover ham from Easter and I ran across this "idea", fixed it in a hurry just as the recipe said. I only have a small processor so it got kinda messy, but the taste was fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

As written this is ok. A bit bland. Easy to prepare. Bring it up a notch with a sprinkle (not much!) of ground cloves or allspice. Also try it with one scallion, white and green parts.

Great recipe. Decided to make it for a change of pace for breakfast, but my celery had gone south. So I used apple instead and a splash of sweet pickle juice to loosen up the salad and to keep the apple from browning. Worked just as well as the celery does. Next time I will use both celery and apple. Thanks for the recipe!

Awesome! Added about a 1/4 cup of red onion and a couple of Tbsp of dill relish. Served on the small Hawaian rolls -- just wonderful. The recipe is similar to my own but had never thought about adding the cheese, mustard and doing in the processor. How easy. A keeper.

Like others, I made additions: 2 boiled eggs,chopped; 1/2 cup onion, chopped. I didn't use the food processor as it was easy to chop ingredients by hand. It's a permanent recipe for me.

I have never tried ham salad as it has never seemed too appealing. This was really terrific. I do not like celery so I substituted green onion instead. I processed the ham so it was a bit chunky. I added a bit of hot sauce. My husband thought it was the best he's ever had.

How funny Barrett; I ran into the same problem while making school/lunches-not quite enough ham salad. Found this recipe and wondered why I never thought of putting cheese on ham salad before. Such a simple idea! My daughter loves brie, so that's what I used. You could do a lot with this recipe, such as, grilled ham salad and cheese, or placing the salad into mini phyllo cups, topping with the cheese of your choice and popping them into the oven for yummy little appetizers! Thanks!

I love adding celery to sandwich fillings for both the taste and the crunch, but my husband HATES how celery strings get in his teeth and avoids it at all costs unless cooked to death. I would have never thought of putting it in the processor with the ham! It's the perfect solution! I'd never made ham salad before, but we really like this recipe!

This is great as a salad or a sandwich filling. If I'm using it as a salad, I don't put the ham mixture in the food processor - I simply chop the ingredients the old fashioned way. I like it a little chunkier. I also add about 1/4 c. diced onion and a dash of freshly ground pepper. I love this wrapped in lettuce leaves. Thanks Barrett!

I used this to make finger sandwiches for a club meeting, and everyone seemed to enjoy them. I really liked the combination of flavors. I left out the celery because I didn't have any on hand. This was my first attempt at making homemade ham salad, and I'll definitely use this recipe again.

Yummy! And SOOO easy to make!! I was done in about 5 minutes, and now I have tons left over for lunches throughout the week! UPDATE: I've recently started adding 1/4 c chopped onions and a few chopped baby carrots to the mix...great way to get in those veggies! I've also been using fat free cheddar and mayo with great results...i've been leaving out the mustard because I rarely have it in the house (not a fan)
