When life throws you ham (or at least 1/2lb. More than you wanted) make
ham salad.

The guy at the deli counter didn't ' hear me say a half pound so when I
got home I figured I'd whip up some ham salad. Used to eat it often as a
kid but not so much these days. I figured it's sliced sandwich ham but
what the heck.

I also figured I'd like to spice it up a bit from the normal ham salad so
I tried this.

½ lb Ham chopped fine
4 pepperoncini peppers
2 jalapeño peppers
1 hard boiled egg
½ roasted red pepper
¼ cup chopped onion
1 squirt of dijon mustard
Prepared Horseradish to taste (for me a lot)
Enough mayo to reach desired consistency – I like my ham salad slightly
“dry”

Let it mature overnight and today I toasted some pita, threw in a little
baby spinach, and finished with the ham salad.

Mmmmmmm. Nice & spicy. The lucnh meat ham is a little more salty than
normal ham and the pepperoncini were salty too but I like salt so no
problem. Next time maybe some chipotle mustard will go in.

The ratio of ham is way too low to call that ham salad.

I'm trying to figure out if you left anything spicy *out* of that.

PS Sounds good.
