Ingredients

  • 1 pound (450g) ham, chopped
  • 1-2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • ¼ cup (24g) minced onion
  • 1 green onion, minced
  • ½ cup (50-60g) minced celery
  • ⅓-½ cup (75-112g) mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) Dijon mustard
  • ½-1 teaspoon (2-4g) Creole seasoning
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cut leftover ham into small pieces with a sharp knife, and place it in a large bowl.
  • Add the chopped hard-boiled eggs, minced onions, the green onion, and celery.
  • Mix the mayonnaise, mustard, Creole seasoning, and lemon juice in a smaller bowl. Chill until ready to use.
  • Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the ham mixture, and mix until everything is thoroughly combined—season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve on toast or crackers.

Notes

  • Omit hard-boiled eggs or add more as desired.
  • If you don't have Creole seasoning, cayenne pepper will give it a kiss of heat.
  • Add sweet pickle relish or chopped dill pickles for more flavor.
  • Please keep in mind that the nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary significantly based on the products used in the recipe.
