Old Fashioned Ham Salad Spread

[@cherylross5322]

I remember my mom making this about 70 yrs ago. She would grind the ham & onion up in one of those clamp-on metal grinders back in the day :-)

[@MrPaulus252]

same here did the same with chicken

[@Lmartin253]

I still have one of those!

[@sharonafshari4485]

So glad you didn’t edit out the part about leaving the blade out. That has happened to me more times than I care to admit. Salad looks so good.

[@anderander5662]

There was a small meat market in our town who took the ends of Bologna, ham, salami Etc and ground them up with pickle, onion and mayonnaise. Made the most delicious spread.

[@lisaemerson8061]

mom use to make ham or chicken or turkey and the bologna loved this still do and still make it

[@joeyhardin1288]

Thanks, we had this but with bologna. God Bless and stay safe

[@thekingtroll2]

I used to eat this at my grandmothers house in the summer for a cold sandwich. She was pleased, as a kid, I liked it. She also made me a butter and onion sandwich. You'd take a bun and put read butter on it. You take a vidalia onion and slice it up and let it get cold. Then you put a cold slice of onion on that buttery bun (or bread) and have a buttered onion sandwich. I'd say 52 yrs later, I am still eating them!

[@leeshayne7411]

Thanks for bringing back memories, I too grew up with this.

[@joannekeith9430]

Chopped ham and pickle my family called it...I tried for years to re-create it and just couldn't get it right, I was using ham, then they finally told me it was bologna! Loved it!

[@florenceschneider3315]

Yup table top grinder bologna or ham small amount onion dill pickles & sweet very little grind add miracle whip mix delicious

[@heritagefarmstead3288]

I loved this growing up and still do. Yes, we make it most of the time with bologna though. Thanks Greg

[@djnana1156]

Yup my mom made it with left over ring bologna:)

[@jerriscollins-ruth9019]

My husband will love this.

[@JoAnnCarpenter815]

My Mom always made ham salad! I’m so glad that you are showing us the recipe Greg!!

[@MsSupreme11]

Thanks for the memories Gram made this❤️

[@dolliemaesone]

Restaurant I worked in in 1964 used ham and chicken 1/2.personal choice celery and boiled eggs

[@lynnes-over-it5887]

I love making ham spread with leftover ham.

[@ginco5203]

I do it with hot dogs too. Cheaper than ring bologna and they go on sale frequently in the summer. I stick up on the cheap ones to make sandwich spread year round.

[@juliebaker6230]

My grandfather used to make this on Saturday and we would have it on toast on Sunday evening. He would put the meat through the grinder, follow it with onions, boiled eggs, and a few sweet pickles. Mix it all together, add mayo, and viola!

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

Sounds great!

[@walterstrahota2956]

Good idea. I’ve been buying ham salad at the grocery store $5.79 for 11 ounces. I can make it now for a fraction of that.

[@carlenevasseur]

Grew up on this stuff. Also use Spam sometimes. Makes a great sandwich spread. Thanks for sharing.

[@HermitHomestead]

Great timing Greg. I just pulled a half-ham out of the freezer, so will be making ham spread to have in the fridge for the weekend. I try to keep these type "salads" made up for us to eat quick and easy now that we have retired. Thanks for the recipe!

[@kathyrama4570]

My Mom made this with fine diced celery, sweet pickle relish and mayo. It was awesome.

[@paulettebarrow9791]

@KATHY, Thats what I put in mine but I do half mayo half miracle whip

[@barbarasapp1234]

That is something I would do forget the blake. Looks really good 👍 👌.

[@kristinabranch3097]

Thanks Greg it looks delicious. Can’t wait to try it.

[@cosmgj]

We call it sandwich spread here (made with Bologna), and I loved when my mom and Grandma would makes theirs. I still have one of the old time grinders to grind up the bologna and pickles!

[@shanejur]

Yeah, My Mom and Grandma used Bologna and Dill pickles. I don't think they used onions but, I didn''t really watch them

[@wandaweber6613]

I haven't had that in a long time. I feel some coming on this weekend. Thanks Greg.

[@sheribottero863]

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I like ham salad but never had homemade just store bought. Gonna definitely try this recipe.

[@Tammyjify]

Greg, my family is from Paintsville, KY and I put sweet gherkin juice for the sweetness in mine. I also chop up some gherkin for the relish. So good. Love your shows! You cook like I do, and I live in Wapakoneta!😉

[@marilyn3826]

looks so good I will make this with some ham I have left in frig. thanks have a great day. Texas Fan

[@lindagarcia8297]

Had ham salad for the first time a couple of years ago. I love it!

[@bethrichardson5998]

I make this all the time with bologna.. add dill pickle, celery, onion and mayo.. it's cheaper to make your own.. I make my own bread.. ya just can't beat homemade ground bologna on homemade bread 😋

[@anetzband1383]

One can also use Spam for this! I remember that growing up we would buy big chunks of bologna--not just slices. It was really cheap. What happened to that?

[@larrysmith6499]

That looks great. Thanks for sharing

[@darlenewright5850]

Thanks Greg, that's about the only way I eat ham.lol

[@jillandbarrywaggoner2407]

We made this again today, love it! You are in our kitchen quite often. 🤗

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

Well I am so happy to hear that. Glad you like my recipes and ideas. Y'all have a great rest of your week

[@kimworkman2425]

Looks pretty good. I like the peppers in it

[@RandeT73]

My grandma used to use Miracle Whip and her homemade zucchini relish. I never realized it was zucchini till I was in my 20's LOL.

[@Curiouscat5980]

Looks really good. Thanks for sharing this recipe. 👍😎👍❤️

[@cindybonem494]

Ground Bologna sandwiches are delicious, I’m going to try ham spread to see how they compare.

[@sharonmckee2403]

Thus looks great don’t shoot! I really like the … but you can cook! Thanks for sharing!

[@glkprivatechef408]

Great REcipe

[@phyllisbakercoffman8988]

Hey, Greg 💕. I love it more with baloney and I add in some pickle loaf too! You been nipping the cooking Sherry😂🤣. Miracle Whip 🥰. Looks delicious ❤️

[@marciahowell6693]

You can do the same thing with cold roast beef or pork too

[@agmin2098]

Yummm..roast beef…

[@ronaldyeater3322]

Thats closet to whad my dad made, tyvm

[@bodeine454]

Looks good 👍 We're getting ready to make some ham salad in our Hamilton Beach Stack and Snap food processor which we've had for a few years and haven't used yet because we moved and it's been in a box in the garage since 😏. We're making about 4 lbs of it for a Christmas get together tomorrow at my mother's. We're going to use half Kentucky hickory smoked ham and half baloney. We're experimenting...

[@anniefannycharles9951]

Love a ham salad!

[@lavernehodge3320]

There's nothing like homemade ham salad, and you know what the ingredients are in it. My mom made this all the time in her metal meat grinder, Memories! I never had it made with bologna. Definitely going to try it. Thank you

[@ripteye]

During Pheasant Season at my dad's Uncles, 100s of people would show up my Aunt must have made 1000's of pounds of this stuff to feed all the hunters at lunch that opening weekend. Also as a Kid in the 80's and a teenager in the 90's you could find this at the local gas stations, now days all I see is tuna or chicken salad sandwiches. It is odd because this is FAR better than both.

[@countrygalinthecity]

One lady i used to take care of always made this with baloney....so yummy

[@susanryman9948]

White bread imperative!!!

[@colinkelly8051]

Dude! I make it the same way!! ( except for the peppers) but I’m going to try this with peppers, minced by them selves 😂 !! I used to make mine with that sweet salad dressing, like mayo but…..Miracle Whip!! That’s it! I haven’t made mine in a long time, but I’m going to now.( ps: I hate miracle whip except for ham and bologna salad.) Great find ! I have subscribed!! And will like!!

[@patriciasweet151]

Oh we live this need to check the freezer. You can guess what we are making

[@paulettebarrow9791]

Never did this with bologna....HAHA OMG forgot how to spell bologna so I had to sing the song, lmbo

[@glorialautzenhiser5140]

My favorite is to eat ham salad on a Hawaiian dinner roll

[@thelog86]

I can tell by how your kitchen is setup, u know your way around a kitchen. I know u can throw down on that stove

[@RiceaRoni354]

If I have to use the canned deviled ham this is how I try and doctor it.

[@cjenkins8785]

Fifth generation cook who still has all his fingers.

[@rhondajo3]

I don't like sweet pickles or sweet relish. Can I make it with dill pickles?

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

yes, it can

[@roxeyserckie5414]

Also add chopped boiled egg

[@kriswycoff979]

THANK YOU, NOTHING BETTER IN THE HOT SUMMER THEN A COLD, THICK HAM SALAD SANDWHICH! I LOVE IT WITH A LAYER OF ALFALFA SPROUTS.

[@countrygalinthecity]

I forget that blade all the time😅

[@joeydog999]

Might want to rinse the ham off first, i ruined MANY salads because ham was TOO salty, Learned my lesson after few tries, DONT salt until everything is done, chances are you wont HAVE to use any salt.

[@sheilamesick96]

Was that a canned ham?

[@gregscumberlachiakitchen]

Yes, it was. Good eye.

[@lynnperdue1571]

Hot dogs too.

[@hollynelson543]

SHAME.?.. TOU GOT RID OF THE TIP? OK?

[@PEETY666]

Don't film your mistakes.

[@lsmft9576]

Nice
