Great recipe. This is how I make my ham salad except I use sweet relish. When we were little, sometimes mom didn't have any ham so she used bologna instead. Tasted just as good to us. lol

This recipe is fabulous! I stirred together the mayo and Dijon mustard in a big bowl and the food processor made quick work of putting the rest of this recipe together. (I did substitute finely diced kosher dill pickles for the hot relish due to personal preference.) In hardly any time at all, I had an amazing salad ready. This is THE QUINTESSENTIAL CLASSIC HAM SALAD!

Made as written except I left out the eggs as I had none. It was delicious. Used Famous Daves pickle relish and it has a tiny bite but not much. I am chowing down right now. I am sure it will be better as it sits.

It is the ham salad of my childhood! Delicious. Like other postings, I pulsed all the celery, onion and ham in food processor. I substituted Trader Joe's cornichons for the hot pickles, and pulsed them as well. They added a nice spice element to the salad. Served it with toasted rounds of French Bread....

I doubled this recipe to use up some left-over Christmas ham. I subbed half the mayo with cajun remoulade and half the celery with finely chopped parsnips. Turned out amazing!

Turned out very well. I only had bread and butter pickles to use for the relish. I didn't use eggs, i used honey dijon mustard and miracle whip. It was delicious!
