This "Ham" salad was on the table every Christmas Eve at my Paternal Grandma's house. Slapped between two slices of Heiner's white bread and cut diagonally. Me thinks my Aunt Jane had a hand in this as well.
After making this again, I determined it's just not for me. I prefer to eat my bologna in slices, I don't mind applying the miracle whip directly to the bread. I also like this sandwich with a slice of American cheese. No pickle relish necessary. Below is a recipe for homemade Miracle Whip, because I just about never eat it, I never have it on hand, and it does go bad.
2 T. sweet pickle relish
1 lb. bologna, blitzed in a food processor
Miracle Whip, enough to make it spreadable
HOMEMADE MIRACLE WHIP FROM MAYONNAISE
2 1/2 Tablespoons of White Distilled Vinegar
1 1/2 Tablespoons of White Sugar
1 teaspoon of Corn Starch
Combine thoroughly and Microwave till just boiling. Let cool in freezer for a few minutes. Add:
1/2 teaspoon of Garlic Powder
1/8 teaspoon of Mustard Powder (if you have it)
Dashes of Paprika
3/4 cup of Mayonnaise
Mix well. Cover, and store in the refrigerator, probably not more than a few weeks.
