Notes
- This recipe is a great way to use leftover Easter or Christmas ham.
- Thick-cut deli ham, boneless cooked ham, ham steaks, or leftover spiral ham all work well.
- Pulse the ham in short bursts so it gets finely chopped without turning into a paste.
- Taste before adding salt because ham can already be salty.
- Optional add-ins include mustard, diced dill pickles, pickle juice, cucumbers, hard-boiled egg, red onion, shallots, green onion, or small cubes of cheese.
- Chill before serving if you have time. The flavor gets even better after it sits in the fridge.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
- Freezing is not recommended because the mayonnaise can separate.
