Bologna Salad Sandwich Spread II

My Mother always made this for our school lunches and now I make it but I add salt,pepper,onion,and sweet pickle relish. I don't measure anything I have made it for so long that I just guess. I also grind everything with a food grinder. Love It

YUMMY! This is almost exactly what my grammy made for me as a kid. The only thing I changed was I added a bit of mustard. And dill pickles, not sweet. I didn't really go by the measurements just kind of made as much as I need for that day and mix it until it "looks good". I love these so much I had to have them at my wedding! I bet this had to be the oddest request a wedding caterer ever had for a finger food buffet.

I think this is the kind of recipe that appeals mostly to those who have grown up eating it. My mom made this dish often when we were little and occasionally she would switch it up a bit by chopping the bologna and eggs, adding minced onion and mixing it with an oil and vinegar dressing. My grandfather was a butcher so we always had good German bologna in the house. If you're lucky enough to have a German butcher store in your area, I'd suggest going for the couple of extra bucks instead of using bologna from the grocery store. Haven't had this in years and I must say, it brought back a lot of memories. Thanks so much Margaret!

Maybe it was the brand of bologna that I used but the spread turned out to be not quite as good as I thought.

Just like Mom used to make. I substituted ham for the bologna and used Miracle Whip instead of mayo.

I made this early this morning and whirred it in my food processor before letting it set in the fridge. The only changes I made was using dill pickles instead of sweet and I added a quarter of a chunked yellow onion, fresh garlic and a little fresh ground pepper. The bologna I used was bought at my local deli counter. I'll update my review once we've had some for lunch. EDITED: Good, though I think it needs a little mustard. Not much, a tablespoon or so. Adding the onions and garlic was a smart move. We all liked this.

Surprisingly good. I used dill pickles instead of sweet (personal preference. I didn't measure anything I just threw enough together to make a nice snack.

I enjoyed this as a quick lunch with my Magic Bullet! This recipe can be changed in so many ways with anything that you like in a sandwich.

I made a quarter batch, and should get at least two sandwiches from it! I followed the proportions and it was a quick dinner for the late time I was eating.

This is a childhood favorite of mine. We always used Miracle Whip instead of real Mayo but substituting ham for bologna makes it ham salad not bologna salad. Not the same thing! I've tried making it without the sweet pickles and it just doesn't have the same zing. Now I'm wishing I had bologna in the house :\ lol

I hickory smoked a 1 lb. chub of Frick's Bologna coated with yellow mustard and BBQ rub and used it. Nice smoky flavor addition. If you have never had smoked bologna (that's baloney down where I'm from) you are missing out on a treat. Same for smoked SPAM.

I never use eggs eggs....

This is a family favorite that we call "Ham Salad". The only difference is that we add onion and cheese to suit. We serve this spread on toasted white bread.

Add onion

I grew up in the 60’s eating this on Sunbeam bread. Mama made it exactly this way. Bologna was 39¢ a pound. It didn’t come in pkgs. It came in rolls. You had to go to the meat counter to ask the man in the white apron (usually apron had stains from cutting raw meat). He wrapped it in white butcher paper. This is comfort food to me. I still make it.

Very good, but I remembered my mom added crackers while grinding ingredients.

I have made bologna salad for years. We grew up calling it ham salad. Personally, I like lots of chopped celery in mine, so I add that. Eggs are optional but still good.

as a fan of bologna from childhood. jus just fell into place lvd it .

Good recipe. First time making it but I used dill pickles instead of sweet. Will keep this recipe on file for future use. ??

Whether it's made with Bologna, Ham, or a combination of both (which is what I'm most familiar with) this makes for a delicious sandwich. It's still being served in sandwiches at parties. My mom always added a bit of finely diced celery & onions, along with the sweet pickle relish. She never added eggs, but some people did, in order to 'stretch' the meat. I still make this spread sometimes, and bring the sandwiches to gatherings. Everyone loves it, and requests my recipe.
