  • 1 pound diced ham
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup mayo
  • 1/3 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1 celery stalk Diced.
  • 1/4 cup diced onions I used red onions.
  • 1/4 cup pickle relish
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and stir. Taste repeatedly and adjust the spices to suit your taste.

Notes

Leftover salad will get watery as it absorbs the moisture from the salad ingredients. You can drain the excess water and give the salad a stir.
