About

The real challenge of leftovers is making them compelling. We all know we could just microwave the leftover ham that's in the fridge, but that doesn't feel exciting for a lunchtime dish. Thankfully, making leftovers amazing is what this Leftover Ham Salad aims to do (and succeeds in)! The savory ham forms the backbone on which the flavors build, and those flavors are just plain fun! Sour and tangy pickles, crunchy, refreshing celery and red onion, and mayo and mustard to bring the whole thing together. You can eat Leftover Ham Salad on its own or as a sandwich... whatever suits your fancy!
