Notes

  • This recipe is a great basic ham salad, so feel free to spice it up with any of your favorite salad additions!
  • While the original recipe calls for both ham and chicken feel free to use one or the other based on what you have on hand!
  • To keep it authentic, I used canned cooked chicken but feel free to use fresh cooked chicken if you prefer!
  • I chose to use pecans but feel free to use whatever nuts you prefer or omit them entirely!
