To make this Honey Baked Ham Salad Recipe, you’ll need:

2 cups honey baked ham, diced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare The Ingredients

First things first, let’s get all our ingredients ready. Dice your honey baked ham into small, bite-sized pieces. Chop the red onion and celery finely, and chop the fresh parsley.

Step 2: Make The Dressing

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and honey. Whisk these together until smooth and well-blended.

This dressing is what makes the Honey Baked Ham Salad Recipe so special, adding a creamy and slightly sweet flavor.

Step 3: Mix The Salad

Before serving, cover the salad and let it sit in the fridge for at least half an hour for the greatest flavor.

This enables the flavors to harmoniously blend together. Stir it briefly after chilling, then serve.

Tips For The Perfect Honey Baked Ham Salad

Leftover Ham: This recipe is a fantastic way to use up leftover honey baked ham, but you can also use store-bought ham if you’re in a pinch.
Add-ins: Feel free to add in some chopped apples or grapes for a sweet twist, or some hard-boiled eggs for extra protein.
Serving Suggestions: This salad is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it on a bed of greens, in a sandwich, or with crackers.

Variations

Classic Ham Salad

If you’re looking to keep things simple, you can omit the honey and Dijon mustard for a more traditional ham salad. Just mix the ham with mayonnaise, celery, onion, and relish.

Spicy Ham Salad

For a bit of a kick, add some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the dressing. This variation adds a spicy twist that’s sure to be a hit.

Healthy Ham Salad

To lighten up this recipe, you can use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. It will give you a creamy texture with fewer calories and added protein.
