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

January 21, 2019I have made this twice. It is really good. Do you drain the crushed pineapple, it doesn’t say in the recipe. Thank you
Deanna
January 22, 2019I have not, only because when I try to drain crushed pineapple, I don’t get much liquid out of it. Thank you!!!
