Ham Salad Recipe
This ham salad recipe sure brings back memories. The unmistakable taste of the smoked ham combined with the crunch of the pickle relish has that classic salty and sweet combination we frequently crave.
The bell pepper, celery and onion add even more flavor and color, and make it chunky so it can be served on a bed of lettuce, if desired, to have that bite. Ham salad is a great use of leftovers from your ham recipes and a great salad to bring to a picnic.
