Homemade Ham Salad

Ingredients

• 2 cups finely ground ham (about ¾ pound) (see note)
• 3 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped
• ¼ cup sweet pickle relish
• ¼ cup mayonnaise (or more to taste)
• 2 tablespoons minced green onion
• ¼ cup minced celery
• 3 tablespoons minced red bell pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or to taste)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Large pinch cayenne, optional
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Brioche buns
• Butter lettuce
• Optional:
• Hollowed out tomatoes

Directions:

Mix everything but the salt, pepper and cayenne in a large bowl. Taste and add cayenne, salt and black pepper to taste. Chill and serve on toasted Brioche buns with butter lettuce.

You can also use this ham salad as a filling in hollowed out tomatoes.

Yield: 3 cups

To make ground ham, pulse in a food processor. Do not turn the ham into paste – use on and off pulses to get it to a chunky consistency
