This is a very basic salad. I found this recipe in the Philadelphia Inquire News paper over 29 yrs ago. I was learning,heck I am still Learning so I will say I was Beginning to run my own home serve every day meals as well as holiday meals. I cooked such a big ham that first year for just 2 of us I was ever so grateful to the Inquire for running a week of left over ham ideas and recipes. Over the years a few ingredients have changed to suit our taste but basically this recipe has stayed the same and is a favorite in my house hold. Occasionally we get a ham just to have left overs.

How To Make left over easter ham salad

Step 1

Make the Vinaigrette in a small bowl whisk together the vinegar,mustard,and seasoning. While constantly whisking slowly add in the oil,continue whisking until thickened.Set a side.

Step 2

Cut Avocado into large slices, cutting length wise making wedge shapes. Toss with the lemon juice and set a side.( when I am rushed or lazy I put the salad together and sprinkle the juice on top of the salad before tossing. I am normally serving the salad right away so it works)
Step 3

place the ham,tomatoes,cucumbers,onion and avocados in a bowl drizzle with half the dressing
Step 4

Toss lettuce with remaining vinaigrette,divide evenly onto the plates,place even amounts of the ham mixture on top of the greens and serve.
Step 5

We enjoy this dish with a crispy garlic bread and a bowl of piping hot soup.
Step 6

As you will notice from my pictures I put my salad together in one bowl jumping over a few steps and serving family style. It comes out just as tasty either way. I follow each step if I am serving to guest at a dinner party it makes it feel more formal.
