AMISH HAM SALAD
When it comes to ham salad this is top of the list for me....I love this version and ever since I tried some at a local Amish store I had to learn how to make it. It is a simple recipe and can be seasoned up if you want. I have altered a recipe I found in an Amish newspaper and my main addition is the horsey sauce, which I love....

Steps:
- 1. Shredding the baby swiss cheese, chop the ham and rinse/drain the sauerkraut really well. I usually squeeze the kraut with my hands to get the most liquid out as possible.
- 2. Add all your ingredients in a bowl and stir together till well combined.
- 3. This is the horsey sauce that I use. It most certainly has a bite to it.
- 4. Salad is ready
- 5. Sammie with Amish Ham Salad
- 6. I used my Grammie's Homemade Mayonnaise recipe for this and it paired well with the ham and swiss. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/dressing/homemade-mayonnaise.html?p=1
