My mom made ham for easter. She gave me a bunch of her leftovers.
and when I got home I thought, what in the heck do you do with ham?
I did what any other 20-something would do. I googled.
Unfortunately most of the options involving ham also involve lots of cheese, bread, pasta, and cream and not too many fresh vegetables or fruits. Example.
also unfortunately I ate all the bruschetta so I had none leftover for lunch.
I decided to make a ham salad. Not the kind my mom suggested I make using mayonnaise and a meat grinder. Shudder.
Salads are so great for lunch because you throw whatever you have over a bed of lettuce and call it a salad! I call this one, ham sandwich salad.
Ingredients:
Iceberg lettuce
Tomato
Pickle (McClures)
Ham Chunks
Deli Mustard
As quick as you can dice a tomato you have a lunch all ready to go in your plastic to-go container. The dressing being thick-er than others meant that nothing got soggy or runny or weird by lunchtimes. BONUS. I hate soggy salad. I also hate trying to put dressing in a separate container, does anyone know of a 3tbsp container for sale?
My calorie approximation came in around 220.
How did you eat your easter leftovers?
Happy Eating!
