Heavenly Ham's ACTUAL Classic Ham Salad Recipe

Years ago, I shared the actual Turkey Salad recipe from the now-defunct ham store chain, Heavenly Ham. Since then, I've received requests for other recipes from the chain. I have had to substitute a few ingredients as the originals were proprietary to Heavenly Ham and didn't transfer when Honey Baked bought them.

One of the easiest and most beloved recipes from Heavenly Ham was their Ham Salad. Contrary to popular belief, it only contained three ingredients, making it incredibly simple to recreate. Here’s a recipe that’s as close to the original Heavenly Ham's Ham Salad as you can get today.

A box lunch similar to what you'd get from Heavenly Ham back in the day.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Spiral Sliced Ham or any thicker cut (honey smoked is a must; brand doesn’t matter)

  • 1/2 cup Special Sauce (see below)

  • 2 stalks of green onion

Instructions:

  1. Place all ingredients into a food processor.

  2. Chop until mixed but not too fine.

  3. Enjoy on your favorite bread with a slice of Havarti cheese, a slather of mayo, and special sauce.


Heavenly Ham's Special Sauce was nothing more than equal parts of Heavenly Ham's That Mustard and Mayonnaise. That Mustard was one of the proprietary items that is no longer made so I had to clone my own version which comes as close as you will get.
