Hawaiian Ham Salad Recipe
A light and easy salad to help you eat healthier in the new year.
Ingredients
Potato Nest
- 2½ cups Shredded Hash browns thawed
- 1 egg beaten
- ½ teaspoon salt
Ham Salad
- 1½ cups cooked ham chopped
- ⅓ cup low fat mayonnaise
- 13 ounces pineapple tidbits 1 can, drained
- 1 large celery stalk chopped
- 1 teaspoon onion finely chopped
- ¼ teaspoon prepared mustard
- dash of garlic powder optional
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare hash brown potato nests. Put hash browns in a bowl. Drain off any liquid from thawing process. Toss potatoes with 1 beaten egg and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Generously spray a cupcake/muffin tin with non stick cooking spray. Press about 1/4 cup potato mixture firmly and evenly against bottom and side of 10 of the muffin cups. Place muffin tin on a cookie sheet. Cook until the edges are brown and crisp, about 35 to 37 minutes. Remove from oven and loosen the edges. (I used a small paring knife to loosen around the edges.) Let cool for about 5 minutes, then remove from cups and cool completely.
- For the salad: Mix together chopped ham, mayonnaise, pineapple, celery, onion, mustard, and garlic powder. Refrigerate for about an hour. Fill potato nests with salad. Store in refrigerator til serving.
