AMISH HAM SALAD



Amish Ham Salad image

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....

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb chopped ham, strips or small cubes
3/4 lb baby swiss, finely shredded (i like horseradish cheese too)
1 1/2 - 2 c sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
1 Tbsp dill weed
2 - 3 tsp caraway seeds
2 - 4 Tbsp horseradish sauce (depending on taste)
1/3 - 1/2 c mayonnaise dressing
salt & pepper to taste

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

Tips:

  • Ensure Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest ingredients possible, especially the ham and cream cheese, to create the best-tasting spread.
  • Finely Chop the Ham: Finely chop the ham so that it evenly distributes throughout the spread and provides a consistent texture.
  • Use Quality Cream Cheese: Opt for a high-quality cream cheese that is smooth and flavorful. Avoid using spreadable cream cheese as it may result in a softer consistency.
  • Chill the Spread Before Serving: After preparing the spread, refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the spread to firm up slightly.
  • Enhance with Spices: Feel free to customize the spread by adding your favorite spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to enhance the flavor profile.
