This easy Ham and Egg Salad combines cubed ham, pasta, hard-boiled egg, mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, mustard, celery, onion and seasonings.
This easy ham pasta salad is perfect for using up that leftover holiday ham but you can also use ham steaks or pre-cubed ham.
If using the hardboiled egg, the time to make this recipe will increase. If you want a little kick, try adding horseradish.
This recipe is ready in just 25 minutes but for best flavor plan to chill in the fridge for 1 – 2 hours.
This small batch recipe makes a great side dish for lunch, dinner, or your date night meal for two.

Such a great idea to add ham. It sure amped up my regular mac salad and I’ll be making yours from now on. I did add some smoked paprika and a pinch of sugar because I use those in my mac salads. If you have an Instant Pot you can cook the pasta and hard boiled eggs. Thanks for your recipe, Zona!

Hi Ryan, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I imagine the smoked paprika and sugar are awesome additions. I do have an instant pot so I will try your cooking method next time I make this. Thank you!
