This salad starts with an easy, simmered dressing with egg, milk, vinegar and a couple other simple ingredients.
Then some cooked, diced ham. You can get some from the deli or this is a great use of leftover holiday ham!
A nice bunch of hard-cooked eggs finishes this salad off. (See my tutorial for making hard boiled eggs in an Instant Pot, or for doing it the traditional way in a sauce pan.)

I also share a great collaboration with other wonderful home cooks, of recipes for stretching the dollar by savoring the scraps.
Enjoy the Amish Ham Salad on a roll or served with lettuce leaves.
You can also make variations of this recipe. Try adding some diced onion or shredded Swiss or cheddar cheeses. There’s so many ways you can make this your own.

Good recipee!
Love this recipe! I am a ham salad fan from way back, and I am looking forward to trying this!
My neighbor had a dressing similar to this that I always loved as a child. She gave me the recipe but it was lost in one of my transitions. She made potato salad with it but the ham salad sounds amazing!
I like the hard boiled eggs in these too!
I’ve never had a ham salad with cooked dressing but this certainly sounds delicious! Must try!
this sounds delicious! I will make this soon, thank you!
This salad sounds so good, I will try to make it this week.
I made chicken stock with the chicken carcasse left from last Sunday’s Roast following your recipe and a few days later used it to make soup, it was so much nicer than the usual soup I make and my husband and boys had seconds.
It was sweet seeing your daughter in law moving away for the first time, It brought back good memories for me, we moved so many times with the navy.
Thank you for the recipes.
Thank you Isabel! That chicken broth is so easy to do, I’m glad you liked it!
This takes a ham salad to new heights – I love the idea of the simmered dressing.
Thank you Lynne!
I hadn’t heard of a boiled dressing before. I can’t wait to have some leftover Easter ham!
It is a little different, but so good. Yes, it is perfect for leftover holiday ham – whatever the holiday! :)
Mmmm I love the simplicity of this ham salad, plus it sounds delish! We went through Amish country a few years back, it was beautiful, and the food was awesome!!
Thank you!
