Here’s a classic Deviled Ham Salad recipe—creamy, tangy, and perfect for sandwiches, crackers, or lettuce cups:
Ingredients
- 1 can (about 12 oz / 340 g) deviled ham spread
- ½ cup mayonnaise (adjust for creaminess)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional, for extra tang)
- 2 tbsp finely chopped celery (for crunch)
- 2 tbsp finely chopped sweet pickle or relish
- 1 tsp lemon juice or vinegar
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: chopped hard-boiled egg or a dash of hot sauce
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix deviled ham, mayonnaise, mustard, celery, relish, and lemon juice until smooth and well blended.
- Adjust seasoning: Taste and add salt, pepper, or hot sauce if desired.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
- Serve: Spread on bread or crackers, or use as a sandwich filling with lettuce and tomato.
Tips
- For extra texture, add finely chopped onion or bell pepper.
- If you like a smoother spread, pulse in a food processor for 10–15 seconds.
- Keeps in the fridge for 3–4 days in an airtight container.
I can also give a fancier holiday version with cream cheese, herbs, and paprika for a more festive presentation. Do you want me to do that?
