This easy ham salad is a family favorite made with chopped baked ham, hard-boiled eggs, sweet onion, celery, pickles, and mayonnaise. It's the perfect recipe to use up leftover ham!
Making this salad reminds me of my Nana. She would often make it after the holidays, using up the leftover ham. It was so good spread onto soft white bread, covered in mayo. I can almost taste it now. This simple ham salad recipe tastes pretty darn close to the original that I loved so much. Now, I enjoy it over a salad drizzled in olive oil and sprinkled with a little pink Himalayan sea salt. I've included a Paleo-friendly option, as well.
This flavorful salad is a southern classic and so delicious!

I am not going for Paleo diet, but I love this salad. Guess add some raisins would taste great. 🙂
