Hi Folks, I want to thank you for your nice reviews. Glad you enjoy the salad as much as my friends and family do. Just wanted to mention, if there is any left over it is great mixed with a little Italian flavored bread crumbs and stuffed in mushrooms then baked for 1/2 hour at 325 for an appetizer. You might even add some grated Parmesan to the top just before removing from the oven. A friend has made this salad with left over roast pork and it is also very tasty. I grind almost everything left over and give it a try. I had two left over Chicken Cordon Blue's the other day, ground them up and made chicken salad and it was awesome. The combination of the cheese and the ham made it delicious. Thanks again for the reviews. Happy days and happy grinding. :o] Winter Blossom

I agree with a previous review that, until recently, I wasn't a big fan of ham salad. But I made this two weeks ago, and it's excellent. As the submitter said, it's a good idea to add a little more mayo to the mixture right before you eat it to get the texture just right. I made more of this than I meant to last time, so I've been a little creative in adding ingredients along with the extra mayo: I substituted Miracle Whip once, have added some hot sauce a few times, and some chopped jalapenos, also, all were very good and gave the salad some nice variations. I purchased a "ham end" at the deli today (last time I made it with ham steaks), so I'll give that a try. :) Thank you for the great recipe.

Ham salad has always been a favorite of mine as a sandwich or cracker spread. But I've never added brown mustard and that makes it especially tasty.

Very good! I did just what the description below the recipe dictated and marched right up to my deli counter and asked for the ham ends, along with enough ham to make 1 1/2 lbs. I did use light mayo and fresh onion, as I didn't have any dry minced onion on hand. I don't know about serving twelve...my three boys asked for second sandwiches and I spread some on Toppers crackers. Aside from a little leftover, it's gone gone gone. I'll make this again!
