Old Fashioned Bologna Salad

Old Fashioned Bologna Salad uses a homemade cooked dressing instead of mayonnaise or Miracle Whip.  The sweet and tangy dressing perfectly compliments the classic ingredients of bologna, relish, onions, celery and hard-boiled eggs. Serve it on humble sliced bread or on crackers for a vintage dinner.

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/3 cup vinegar

Notes

  • To easy grind bologna and chop veggies, add them all to a food processer and pulse until you get the desired texture. 
  • Substitute ground ham for bologna, if desired.
  • Use more or less sweet pickle relish to taste, or use dill pickle relish for a whole new spin.
  • Shredded cheddar cheese would be a great addition to this sandwich spread recipe.
  • Omit onion or add more to desired tastes. 
  • Use yellow mustard instead of ground mustard, if desired.
