Why You'll Love This Recipe

There is something wonderfully nostalgic about a bowl of homemade ham salad. It requires no complicated cooking once the ham is ready, and most of the work is simply chopping and mixing .

The country ham brings a deep, salty flavor, while mayonnaise gives it a creamy texture. Mustard adds tang, and sweet pickle relish balances everything with just the right amount of sweetness . Fresh green onions add a mild bite and keep the salad from tasting too heavy.

Best of all, you can adjust the texture and seasoning to suit your taste!
