Deli Sandwich Spread Ham Salad Recipes

DAD'S DOWN HOME HAM SALAD SANDWICH SPREAD

Steps:

• Place the cubed ham (and bologna) in a food processor and pulse just until you get smaller pieces.
• Add in the gherkins and pulse until the pieces are about the size of rice. You don't want it pureed; you want small pieces.
• Scrape into a bowl.
• Add in the whipped salad dressing (I used Miracle Whip) and ketchup and mix to combine. If adding in the ring bologna increase the dressing to 1 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoon
• Store in an air tight container in the fridge.

DELI SANDWICH SPREAD / HAM SALAD

Steps:

• Any type of lunch meat may be used for this spread. I use bologna, boiled ham or a combination of both.
• run meat through grinder with the fine blade, or use a food processor and process until very fine.
• Boil eggs in advance and allow to chill for at least 20 minutes.
• Combine mayonnaise (or Miracle Whip), relish, onion, salt, pepper and eggs.
• Stir in ground meat to combine.
• Chill for at least one hour prior to serving.
• (My mom tipped me off that the way that they were able to get the grocery store version of this dish to look so beautiful, pink and fresh is that they add beet juice to it! So I add a bit of red food coloring if I am serving it on a buffet so that it looks more appealing.
• Cooking time listed is chill time.
