Bologna Salad
Bologna salad is an old fashioned classic recipe that tastes just like something Grandma would make. Reminiscent of Oscar Meyer’s sandwich spread, you’ll love this on crackers or as dip.
Have you ever had bologna salad?
This was a staple in our Southern household growing up for lunches and brunches.
With its combination of creamy and crunchy textures and smooth, but tangy flavor, there’s so much to love about this.
What is a bologna salad?
Bologna salad is a retro sandwich filling or spread.
It features pieces of bologna, chopped celery, onion, and hard boiled egg, mixed together in a mayonnaise based dressing.
If you were thinking it was a type of green salad with bologna as the protein, it is not.
It’s much closer to chicken or ham salad.
Ingredients
To make this, you’ll need:
- Bologna– 2 packages of Oscar Meyer bologna cut into quarters
- Celery– Roughly chopped
- Onion– Yellow onion, diced
- Egg– Hard boiled
- Mayonnaise– Real full fat mayo, and not mayonnaise style dressing or low fat mayo.
- Relish– Dill pickle
- Mustard– Yellow
- Salt and pepper
How to Make
This old fashioned bologna salad is so easy to make!
To do it, add the bologna, celery, onion, and egg to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment.
Secure the lid on the food processor and pulse it several times until the ingredients are chopped and uniform in size to your desired consistency.
Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed to make sure everything gets evenly chopped.
Stir the mayo, relish, and mustard together in a mixing bowl until evenly combined.
Stir the meat mixture into the bowl with the dressing until the mixture’s evenly combined.
Season the salad with salt and pepper, to taste.
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours.
Once chilled, serve and enjoy!
