- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 0 optional soft sandwich bread or crackers
Directions
Step 1
In a food processor, coarsely chop the cooked ham until it resembles small crumbles. If you don't have a food processor, you can finely dice the ham using a knife.
Step 2
Finely chop the celery and green onions.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped ham, celery, and green onions.
Step 4

Step 5
Add the salt, black pepper, and paprika, and gently fold them into the ham mixture. Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step can be skipped if you're in a rush, but it enhances the taste.
Step 7
Serve as a sandwich filling using soft bread, spread on crackers for an appetizer, or enjoy as-is. Garnish with additional green onions or a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.
