Notes

You can control the texture of this salad based on how finely you grind your meat. I prefer a chunkier salad, so I use the food processor to pulse my ham to get to the right consistency, or I chop it with a knife.

Feel free to use the food processor to finely dice your celery, onion and parsley.

I find that the flavors in this salad are best if you use sweet pickle relish, as the sweetness offsets the salty flavor of the ham.
