Outstanding! This recipe is the closest I've come to duplicating how Mom made ham salad when I was a kid. The taste, the texture...yumminess AND a happy memory, served up together on a sandwich.

I used yellow mustard b/c I don't like brown. I also used 1/2 fresh minced onion and 1/2 dried b/c I ran out of dried. I used honey baked ham leftovers and dill relish. I also used vegan mayo b/c my baby has allergies. It was AWESOME!!! I loved it! Thank you so much!

Not my mother's ham salad! I was hesitant because of the dll relish, but my famlly always chooses dill pickles over sweet. I didn't have minced onion or brown mustard so used some honey dijon and plain frenchs mustard, and fresh white onions finely chopped. I think real mayonaise is the key. No Miracle Whip.

This is a great recipe for ham salad. I have made it twice now, both times with leftover Costco Kirkland brand applewood smoked ham. The first time I didn't have enough dill pickle relish so I added enough Wickle's brand relish to make the 1/3 cup called for in the recipe. (Wickle's is a sweet spicy bread and butter type pickle). The second time I used all dill pickle relish. I think I preferred the one with a bit of Wickle's in it to the one with all dill pickle relish. Both times I used dijon mustard instead of brown mustard, just a personal preference. Without a doubt this is the BEST ham salad I have ever had. I had ham for Christmas this year just so I would have leftover ham to make this recipe... it is that good!!!

I must confess that I do not often measure when cooking, but since I had leftover ham and some doubts about this recipe, I did measure. Very good, but a little bland for my New Orleans taste buds. So, loving all things garlic, I added a sprinkle (1/2 tsp) of garlic salt and white pepper. It brought the flavors together beautifully! I also have to say that I used light sour cream instead of mayo. A caterer friend taught me that trick years ago...anytime you want it to last longer and not taste like mayo, use sour cream. Thanks for the recipe!!

Made it almost exactly as written. I'm not a huge fan of raw onion taste & have never used dried onion so I cut back on the amount used. Made it around noon for dinner that night. I found it to be a bit salty but served it on Hawaiian bread and it helped to balance it out.

Could cut down on the onion just a bit, but otherwise I thought it was easy and delicious!

This is wonderful!!! I was looking for a good ham salad recipe to use with the leftovers from a spiral ham. Didn't have the dried minced onion in the house, so used onion powder and eyeballed the mayo to make sure it was the right consistancy. I was concerned about adding the dill pickle relish, but it added just the right zing. Thanks for sharing.

Delicious! I made this just for myself, and thus fudged it a lot (I only used one big, thick piece of ham) but it turned out great! I added some salt and pepper, paprika, and honey because I like my ham salad sweet. I did use sweet relish and lite mayo. Thanks!
