Southern Style Ham Salad is my recipe of the day. I baked a ham recently, so of course I have leftovers. Figuring out what to make with that is one of my favorite things!

Of course I already posted a regular ham salad besides other sandwich spreads. But I was eager to try one Southern style, with hard-cooked eggs. I also threw in some pimiento peppers. Because it’s the right thig to do. As well as two different kinds of chopped pickle (dills and sweet relish). It certainly reminds me of my childhood!
