HAM AND EGG SALAD

Ham and Egg Salad image

Great egg salad with a little something extra. Delicious for regular sandwiches and also finger sandwiches, or on large sturdy crackers (like the Swedish rye crisps). This recipe would be delicious using a great Southern U.S. ham.

Time 15m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup chopped ham
2 tablespoons sliced green onions
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
salt and pepper

Steps:

Combine all ingredients.
Cover and chill.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh eggs, creamy mayonnaise, and flavorful ham are essential.
Hard-boil the eggs perfectly to prevent them from becoming rubbery or overcooked. Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, depending on how hard you want them to be. Drain the hot water and immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
Chop the ham and eggs finely so that they are evenly distributed throughout the salad. This will help to ensure that each bite is packed with flavor.
Use a light hand when mixing the salad ingredients together. Overmixing can cause the salad to become watery and runny.
Season the salad to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs, to taste.
Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. Ham and egg salad is a great make-ahead dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner.

Conclusion:

Sunny's Quick Ham and Egg Salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is packed with protein and flavor, and it can be served on its own or as a sandwich filling. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy this classic salad in no time.
