Ham Salad

4 cups diced ham
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
¼ teaspoon hot sauce
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Chop the Meat: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the diced ham until it reaches a finely chopped, coarse crumb-like texture, ensuring an even consistency throughout the salad.
Mix the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and hot sauce. Stir the ingredients together thoroughly to create a well-blended, flavorful dressing.
Combine: Add the finely chopped ham to the bowl containing the dressing. Stir carefully to coat the ham evenly with the mixture, ensuring every bite is flavorful.
Season and Chill: Taste the ham salad and adjust the seasoning by adding kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Cover the bowl and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
