How to Make Patty’s Ham Salad

To make this ham salad, you’ll want to start with some fabulous ham. We used leftovers from this Easter Ham recipe. Cube your leftovers and mince the ham in your food processor. Then, transfer it to a bowl and you are ready to assemble.

In Patty Turner’s old school ham salad, you will use minced hard boiled egg and sweet relish. This year, I decided to do a twist on the classic as well, so I replaced those ingredients with dill pickles and pickle juice. You’ll find both options below, so you can go whichever direction your heart is calling you!

Add all the ingredients into the bowl with the ham and stir to combine well. And just like that, it’s ready to go! You can enjoy it by itself, or you can treat it like a dip and have it with your favorite cracker. I love having this in the fridge and just having a few bites throughout the day. It’s one of the best post-Easter treats!
