Recipe Notes

The inspiration for this skinny ham salad recipe comes from The Fannie Farmer Cookbook (affiliate link), my go-to cookbook when I'm seeking old-fashioned comfort.

I lightened it up by using a combination of light mayonnaise and non-fat Greek yogurt in place of the full fat mayo called for, with good results.
