OLD FASHIONED BOLOGNA SALAD
Old Fashioned Bologna Salad uses a homemade cooked dressing instead of mayonnaise or Miracle Whip. The sweet and tangy dressing perfectly compliments the classic ingredients of bologna, relish, onions, celery and hard-boiled eggs. Serve it on humble sliced bread or on crackers for a vintage dinner.

MOCK HAM SALAD SANDWICHES
"MY MAMA'S sandwich filling tastes good whether you make it with ham or bologna. I loved it when I was young, and I've made it for my own family for years. A heaping scoop on a big hamburger bun never failed to satisfy my active boys' appetites."

MY FAVORITE BOLOGNA OR HAM SALAD FOR SANDWICHES
I grew up only knowing this by Ham Salad which is what my Mom and local Deli's up North called it. She said it was the "Poor Man's Ham Salad" which never contained any ham, just bologna, but giving it the wonderful flavor and color of what could have been ham. We loved it. I made it for my children as they grew up and it is still requested though they are adults now. I am in my 50's and still make it for myself as a snack spread or sandwich. I've seen a variation of recipes for this, tried some and still think mine is my favorite. Let me know what you think?

Steps:
- Do not use Velveeta for this recipe, it does not store well.
- I suggest a food processor for this recipe unless you prefer a meat grinder. Use a large bowl with tight lid for storing.
- Take all the bologna out of the packaging and quarter.
- Unwrap all the cheese slices (if in wrap) and quarter as well.
- Place half the meat and half the cheese in processor and pulse until semi-chunky. It should look spreadable. Scoop in bowl.
- Add remaining bologna and cheese, process.
- Place rest in large bowl and add relish, mix well.
- Add 1/2 of the mayo, stir. You can choose the consistency if you prefer. I like it a bit more mayonnaisy. Add rest if preferred.
- You can use either Miracle Whip or real Mayo, both are great. I like the real mayo because it works better with crackers.
- Serve on either a hamburger bun (kid's favorite), sandwich bread, or club crackers.
- Store remaining spread in fridge, it can last up to one week.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a cooked ham that has been aged for at least 6 months.
- If you don't have any leftover ham, you can cook a ham steak or roast a ham in the oven.
- To make the salad ahead of time, simply combine all of the ingredients except the celery and onion. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Before serving, stir in the celery and onion.
- Serve the salad on crackers, bread, or lettuce leaves.
- Garnish the salad with a sprig of parsley or a cherry tomato.
