How to Make Ham Salad

A food processor makes quick work of making homemade ham salad.

Blend until it’s finely chopped and creamy.

Do not over-blend or it can become paste-like, not good.

Can You Freeze Ham Salad?

We don’t recommend freezing ham salad.

The texture can become grainy and the flavors can change during the freezing and thawing process.

It’s best eaten the same week it’s made.
