Ham and egg salad is a fantastic way to use up your Easter leftovers. It makes a delicious dip or spread for sandwiches.

We always have leftovers after Easter.

As in we are up to our ears in leftover hard boiled dyed eggs and ham.

And we are not those people that snack on hard boiled eggs or enjoy another night of ham dinner leftovers.

So I like to turn it all into a delicious egg salad with ham that we can use for lunches and snacks all week long.

Ingredients

To make this you’ll need:

  • Hard boiled eggs– Peel them.
  • Ham– Chop it up.
  • Mayonnaise– Use real full fat mayo for best results.
  • Mustard– Yellow mustard
  • Seasoning– Chopped dill pickles, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.

How to Make

To make this easy ham and egg salad, add the peeled boiled eggs to a mixing bowl and mash the eggs with a potato masher to your desired consistency.

Then stir in the remaining ingredients except for the salt and pepper until everything is evenly distributed and creamy.

Give it a taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking.

Serve and enjoy!
