Ingredients

2 cups baked ham chopped
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
¼ cup Vidalia onion chopped
¾ cup celery chopped
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
½ teaspoon celery salt
white bread for serving

Instructions

Chop the ham, onions and celery and place them in a large food processor. *See note below for batching instructions.
Mix the dressing by combining the dijon mustard, celery salt, mayonnaise, and sweet pickle relish in a small bowl. Stir well.
Add the dressing to the food processor. Pulse the mixture until slightly smooth, leaving some texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning.
Chill the ham salad in the refirgerator for 30 minutes before serving, if possible. Generously spread the ham salad mixture onto white bread and serve alongside chips, a light green salad, or fruit.

Notes

Leftover baked ham gives the best flavor, but a ham steak from the grocery store works well, too.
If your food processor is small, make the ham salad in batches. Combine everything in a large bowl (dressing and all), then transfer in batches to the food processor.
Make it a day ahead if you can. It gets better as it sits.
Keeps in the fridge for 3 to 5 days in an airtight container.
Not recommended for freezing.
