We always have leftover ham from a gathering, celebration, or holiday, and we turn it into different recipes, like this leftover ham and orzo casserole. Last weekend, I wanted to try something different, so I looked for other recipes online. I found this old-fashioned ham salad recipe by The Salted Pepper and tried it right away. It turned out delicious and great for appetizers.
