Amish Ham Salad

This traditional Amish Ham Salad recipe is a classic, sweet-and-tangy spread that is perfect for sandwiches, sliders, or scooping onto crackers. It is a fantastic, budget-friendly way to use up leftover holiday ham.

🛒 Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked ham, cubed (about 1 lb / 450g)
• 2 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and roughly chopped
• 2 stalks celery, finely diced
• ¼ cup sweet pickle relish (or finely diced sweet pickles)

For the Amish Creamy Dressing:

• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard (or Dijon mustard)
• 2 tablespoons sweet pickle juice (straight from the jar)
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (essential for that classic Amish sweet-and-tangy flavor)
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  (Note: Ham is naturally very salty, so skip adding extra salt until you taste the finished salad)
