  • 1 tablespoon finely diced yellow onion
  • 1 cup (232 g) mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the finely diced cooked ham, dill pickle, yellow onion, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper.
  2. Mix Well: Stir all ingredients thoroughly until evenly combined, ensuring the dressing coats the ham mixture well.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator to chill. This allows the flavors to meld together.
  4. Chill Until Serving: Keep the ham salad refrigerated until you are ready to serve, ideally at least 1 hour for best flavor.
  5. Serve: Serve the ham salad chilled alongside crackers or chips as an appetizer, snack, or sandwich filling.

Notes

  • Finely dicing the ham ensures a smooth texture and better flavor blending.
  • Adjust the amount of mayonnaise for creaminess to your preference.
  • Worcestershire sauce adds a subtle umami depth; omit if allergic or avoid for vegetarian diets.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This salad can also be used as a sandwich filling or spread on toast.
