Hawaiian Ham Salad
Facebook rant is over. I get cravings sometimes for no reason. I wanted ham salad. Part the reason I wanted ham salad was that I am starting to pack my lunch for work instead of buying it.
What is funny about me is I do not eat a plain ham sandwich. I am so picky when comes to meats. Like I can’t eat chicken on the bone.
Yet, if it is boneless I will eat it. You will notice I have no wings recipes. It is because of that reason.
Uses For Leftover Ham
Anyway, back to ham salad. I was at the store and there were these little boneless tavern hams on sale for $1.99 a lb. The average cost of these little hams was about $3.

February 5, 2017Well, pineapple and ham are good old classic on a pizza so why not in salad form. And I’ll bet it’s divine in a sandwich

February 5, 2017A few people I work with in Cleveland never heard Ham salad either. So I do wonder if it might be a PA thing. We had it all the time in Pittsburgh. 🙂 It is super yummy!

July 13, 2017This sounds like a great twist on an old favorite.
I would love to try it, but some confusion on a couple of ingredient amounts.
What does 1 cup /2 mean??
And what is 1 oz can crushed pineapple 8 can mean?
Deanna Samaan
July 14, 2017I am so sorry about that! I switched up my recipe cards and when I imported the recipes onto the new cards it jumbled some the recipes ingredients. I thought I had corrected them all but this one must have slipped by me. I did correct it but it 1/2 cup and 1 8oz can of crushed pineapple
