Ham salad is a savory dish made with finely chopped ham, mayonnaise, and a mix of flavorful ingredients such as relish, mustard, and spices. Often enhanced with celery, onions, or hard-boiled eggs for added texture, this dish is a versatile favorite in American cuisine, widely enjoyed as a sandwich filling, cracker topping, or standalone salad. Its origins trace back to using leftover ham in creative ways, making it a staple in home-cooked meals. While ham salad is protein-rich due to the ham and eggs, it can be high in sodium and saturated fats depending on the type of ham and mayonnaise used. Opting for leaner ham cuts and lighter mayo can improve its nutritional profile. Serve it in moderation or paired with whole-grain bread and fresh veggies for a balanced option.
