The Best Ham Salad (+video)

1 ½ pounds boneless cooked ham, diced ((leftover or purchased thick slab, trimmed of fat))

1 hard-boiled egg

1 stalk celery, roughly chopped

2 teaspoons finely chopped onion

¾ cup mayonnaise

2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish ((optional))

1 Tablespoon prepared mustard

Salt and pepper (to taste)

Assorted crackers and/or soft rolls ((for serving))

Put 1 ½ pounds boneless cooked ham, diced, 1 hard-boiled egg, 1 stalk celery, roughly chopped and 2 teaspoons finely chopped onion into a blender or food processor (season with a bit of fresh black pepper)
Pulse (short, quick pulses) 20-25 times to mince. Scrape down the sides of the food processor to make sure it all gets combined evenly.
Combine ¾ cup mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish, 1 Tablespoon prepared mustard, and salt and pepper (to taste) into a separate large bowl.
Then stir in minced ham mixture.
Cover and chill. I prefer to chill it for several hours. It definitely gets better as it chills for a while.
Serve with assorted crackers and/or soft rolls.
