Adding the sweet flavor of pineapple to ham salad gives it some Hawaiian flair. Culinary history in America reveals that ham salads and other minced-meat and mayonnaise preparations were popular from the 1600s onward. Most thrifty Americans found ways to repurpose dinner leftovers; grocery stores were not common until the 1920s. Ham salad recipes are similar to other “meat salads” and are popular in areas with long histories of pork production, including the Upper Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern regions of the country. Satisfying and simple, Hawaiian ham salad can be served in sandwiches, with crackers, or on a bed of lettuce.
