Po Mans Ham Salad Makes Enough To Feed A Group Recipes

HAM SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk the mayonnaise and mustard together in a large bowl. Pulse the ham and pickles in a food processor until finely chopped but not pureed. Add the ham mixture, pickle juice, celery, onions and celery leaves to the mayonnaise mixture, and stir. Taste; if the salad seems dry (it should be spreadable), add more mayonnaise and/or pickling liquid. Serve as is or on sandwiches.

MY FAVORITE BOLOGNA OR HAM SALAD FOR SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Do not use Velveeta for this recipe, it does not store well.
• I suggest a food processor for this recipe unless you prefer a meat grinder. Use a large bowl with tight lid for storing.
• Take all the bologna out of the packaging and quarter.
• Unwrap all the cheese slices (if in wrap) and quarter as well.
• Place half the meat and half the cheese in processor and pulse until semi-chunky. It should look spreadable. Scoop in bowl.
• Add remaining bologna and cheese, process.
• Place rest in large bowl and add relish, mix well.
• Add 1/2 of the mayo, stir. You can choose the consistency if you prefer. I like it a bit more mayonnaisy. Add rest if preferred.
• You can use either Miracle Whip or real Mayo, both are great. I like the real mayo because it works better with crackers.
• Serve on either a hamburger bun (kid's favorite), sandwich bread, or club crackers.
• Store remaining spread in fridge, it can last up to one week.

HAM SALAD SPREAD

HAM SALAD II

HAM SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Place diced ham in a food processor and pulse a few times to chop. You want it fairly fine but not a paste.
• Place in a bowl and add remaining ingredients until creamy and smooth.
• Serve with crackers or use to make ham salad sandwiches.

POOR MAN'S HAM SALAD

Steps:

• You'll need a grinder for this. The old crank type or electric, it you have one. Grind the Bologna through a coarse grind plate.
• Grind the Sweet Pickles into the ground Bologna, adding some of the juice to make moist. (You certainly can use Sweet Pickle Relish if you like) I've also used "Bread n' Butter" pickles when I was out of Sweet.
• My figures for the Mayo, Mustard etc. are approximate as I make a much larger batch and do it all by sight and taste. Mix the Mayo in first, then Mustard.
• I don't add the diced onion, because although it adds texture and taste, you can't hold this long w/ raw onion in it. Instead, I use a Jalapeno Relish that has pickled onion in it. It's available at Mexgrocer.com I add this after finishing for those whom desire a little kick, leave the main batch without.
• When it's all mixed and to your taste, pack in clean jars or Tupperware. It'll hold in the refrigerator for two weeks and better. If it begins to get a bit dry, just mix a little more Mayo into it.
• This is great on sandwiches and also works well as a canape or cracker topper, just sprinkle a little Paprika on it to look pretty.
• My first time to post anything here, so I hope I've been clear and haven't broached any protocols...LOL

ANDREA'S EASY HAM SALAD (FOR SANDWICHES)

PO' MAN'S HAM SALAD (MAKES ENOUGH TO FEED A GROUP)

Steps:

• Remove the red plastic sheath from around the bologna. Run through a chopper or food processor. Don't process it too much, just enough to make it a salad or spread-type consistency. Run the celery and onion through the chopper as well to achieve a fine minced consistency.
• Add salad dressing and the rest of the ingredients. Mix together very well to blend the flavors. Refrigerate in a plastic container with a tight fitting lid until you are ready to use it. (If you refrigerate it overnight before using it, it will taste even better!!)
• This makes a lot of sandwiches for an occasion or for your own use at home. It really does taste like a deviled ham spread, but is made with bologna! And the cost per serving is nominal, as opposed to buying a prepared ham spread! Bon Apetit' Y'all!
