Tips for making ham salad

• The amount of mayonnaise added will vary depending on how dry your ham is. Start with a ½ cup and add more as needed
• Don't over process your ham, you want a fine dice, but not a paste
• If you don't have a food processor, you can finely mince the ham with a knife
• Keep salad covered and refrigerated for up to two days
