Feel free to swap out the type of mustard you use, since this particular condiment is more of a background flavor in this ham salad recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try a different onion:<\/strong> Chopped white onion would work in the place of green onions, as long as you know that the onion flavor will be more pronounced.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use different salty and tangy ingredients:<\/strong> Sub in eggs for the Worcestershire, and pickle relish for the mustard. This will give your salad a different flavor profile while still keeping the salt and tang in balance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Ham Salad<\/h2>\n<p>You can store ham salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four to five days.<\/p>\n<h2>Can you make ham salad ahead of time?<\/h2>\n<p>Ham salad is easily prepared in advance. Letting the ham salad sit in the fridge for a few hours before serving will help the flavors meld with the ham\u2014and since it lasts for a few days in the fridge, you could easily make it the day ahead. However, we don&#8217;t recommend freezing ham salad because of the mayonnaise.<\/p>\n<h2>Ham Salad Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1970574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Ham-Salad_TOHX25_6516_DR_01_10_4b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Ham Salad stuffed in burger bun served in a large plate.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What kind of ham should you use to make ham salad?<\/h3>\n<p>This ham salad recipe is perfect for the day after you make a dish like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/honey-glazed-ham\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/honey-glazed-ham\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">honey-glazed ham<\/a>.

If you prefer to serve this as a spread instead of a salad, feel free to mince the ham instead of dicing it.
