Homemade Ham Salad

Ingredients

• 2 cups ground, cooked ham
• 3 small stalks celery, diced fine
• 1 large dill pickle
• 1-1/4 teaspoons dry mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

* Chop ham and grind through a hand-grinder or electric food processor, for those of you with electric. Pack ham firmly into each cup and then put into a bowl. Then cut celery and pickle with a sharp knife and add into ham.

* In a separate bowl, add dry mustard, onion powder, mayonnaise, salt and lemon juice and stir. Additional mayonnaise may be added to suit your taste. Then stir this mixture into the ham.

* Mix mayonnaise and spread onto sandwich bread. Ham salad tastes even better the next day after being refrigerated overnight. Also tastes great spread on crackers.

Makes 1 pound of salad.
