Ham and Shell Salad

 I used the following recipe with alterations to the dressing and no cheese or onions. It turned out OK. Next time I would add a herb of some kind and more salt. I only used miracle whip and the juice from a full lemon as my dressing. The amount of miracle whip was to taste as well as to a thickness I was looking for. I also used a ham steak then rendered the fat and let it cool. I wanted bigger ham chunks than deli meat. Looking back on it, this recipe was more of inspiration/guideline than actually following the directions
