Ham salad seems to be something that a lot of people have their own "secret recipes" for.  In my hometown alone there was a tiny Italian market that operated for years that was known for their legendary ham salad.  On the other side of town, another market was, and still is, known for their ham salad.  But for those of you who don't have your own "secret recipe", try Lovina's.  It really is a good one and with picnic season almost upon us, you might want to try it!
