Weight Watchers Friendly Ham Salad - 2 SmartPoints
Ham salad is one of my favorite ways to use up the leftover bits from a baked ham.
It makes a great sandwich filling for rye bread or small rolls or a tasty topping for crackers and cucumber slices, which is the way I enjoyed it for lunch today.
Skinny Ham Salad Spread
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.

Ham salad has always been a favorite of mine and my 22 yr old daughter. Now with both of us on WW, I have been searching for ways to make our favorite recipes weight conscious. I was happy to find this and used the zero fat plain greek yogurt and light mayo combo and sweet pickle relish. Awesome! My daughter will be so excited!
