Ham salad

Ham salad

Ham salad is a traditional Anglo-American salad. It is related to chicken salad, egg salad, and tuna salad as well as starch based salads like potato salad, pasta salad, and pea salad. Ham salad is still very popular in western Pennsylvania, and also fairly popular in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern states due to a strong history of curing ham.

A typical ham salad is almost interchangeable with the other salads. Typically it includes ham, mayonnaise or salad dressing, dill or sweet pickles, and perhaps onions, celery, cucumber or tomatoes. Like the other Anglo-American salads, there are many different recipes for ham salad.
