Po' Man's Ham Salad (makes enough to feed a group) image

I learned how to make this from a sweet woman Margorie Siem, of McAllen, Texas. She has since passed on, but she generously passed along her wonderful recipes to me and others in our American Legion Auxiliary in McAllen. Marge was a gem of a lady and could she cook!!! I was blessed that she passed to me many of her best...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lb deli bologna (buy in bulk from the butcher-get the least expensive one!)
3/4 c salad dressing (like miracle whip, but try to find the least expensive brand. they are just as good!) can use more if needed.
2/3 c finely minced celery
2/3 c finely minced sweet onion
1/2 c sweet pickle relish (may use more--to your taste)
1 small jar chopped, drained pimientos (optional...that's my own addition... wasn't marge's idea.)

Steps:

  • 1. Remove the red plastic sheath from around the bologna. Run through a chopper or food processor. Don't process it too much, just enough to make it a salad or spread-type consistency. Run the celery and onion through the chopper as well to achieve a fine minced consistency.
  • 2. Add salad dressing and the rest of the ingredients. Mix together very well to blend the flavors. Refrigerate in a plastic container with a tight fitting lid until you are ready to use it. (If you refrigerate it overnight before using it, it will taste even better!!)
  • 3. This makes a lot of sandwiches for an occasion or for your own use at home. It really does taste like a deviled ham spread, but is made with bologna! And the cost per serving is nominal, as opposed to buying a prepared ham spread! Bon Apetit' Y'all!

I thought this ham salad needed more mustard. I added an extra tablespoon and it was much better.

I found this ham salad to be too sweet. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less sugar.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed. The ham salad was too bland for my taste.

I made this recipe using tofu instead of ham and it was delicious! I also added some chopped vegetables for extra nutrition.

I added a little bit of cayenne pepper to my ham salad and it gave it a nice kick. I also used Dijon mustard instead of yellow mustard and it added a nice tang.

I love that this recipe uses Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. It makes the ham salad lighter and healthier without sacrificing any flavor.
