I have tried my fair share of retro recipes over the years, but this Bologna Salad might just take the cake. It’s an old-fashioned snack or sandwich spread that is sure to bring back childhood memories for many adults. It’s similar to ham salad or tuna salad, with a mayo base and a hint of relish mixed in. This style of “salad” may have fallen out of style, but don’t knock it ‘til you try it. It’s been a comfort food for generations!
The best part? This recipe comes together in a matter of minutes. Add the bologna, hard boiled egg, celery, and relish to a food processor and pulse until the mixture is evenly chopped. You can continue processing for a smoother texture or keep it on the chunkier side depending on your personal preference. Mix in some mayo, mustard, salt, and pepper to taste, and your salad is done! I like to refrigerate it for an hour or two before eating to really let those flavors meld together.
Serve it with your favorite crackers or spread it on a sandwich for an easy lunch. It’s the perfect choice for a picnic or an after work snack you can enjoy all week long. Give this old-fashioned recipe a try and you might just be surprised by how tasty it is!
