Bologna Salad Sandwich Spread
Bologna Salad Sandwich Spread
An excellent sandwich spread. Two ways to prepare this; 1. using a grinder, 2. finely chopped, then you have many variants, which I did, so my review of the original recipe is not accurate, but the variants are tasty though. If you are familiar with a German Meat Salad, this is basically the chopped version.
Ingredients
- 4 hard boiled eggs, peeled
- 500 grams bologna, (1 lb)
- mayo, as needed
- sweet pickle relish, as needed
Instructions
Prep with a Meat Grinder
- Course chop the bologna and run through your meat grinder using the medium plate. Place in a large mixing bowl. This would be perfect for large bologna that is not sliced.
Prep with a Knife
- Here is what I am working with, two stacks of sliced bologna, 200 grams each stack, so I am using just under 1 pound, about 14 oz, no harm there.
- Cut the stack into 1/4 inch strips.
- Turn the stack 90 degrees and cut again into 1/4 inch strips to dice the bologna, place in a mixing bowl, repeat with the other stack.
Prepare the Salad
- To the mixing bowl, add about 1/4 cup of sweet pickle relish and about 1/2 cup of mayo. Mix into the bologna mixture, adding more mayo as needed to fully coat the mixture but not dripping with mayo either. Taste and add more relish as needed to taste.
- I used some variants, so to the mixing bowl I add 4 sliced spring onions, 1/4 cup of green olives with pimentos, measure whole first then slice those, and 1/2 cup Japanese Kewpie mayo. Mixed that together and another squirt or two of Kewpie mayo.
- Then decided to go with another variant and added 150 grams (5 oz) of three blend shredded cheese, and mixed that in. When the salad spread is mixed and adjusted to taste, cover and place in the fridge for 2-3 hours to chill.
- Serve in a sandwich, spread on crackers, or just enjoy as is for a nice side salad.
Notes
Low cost per serving.
Variants: 1. Add 1 finely diced onion or 4-5 sliced spring onions. 2. Add some finely diced or ground ham or smoked ham. 3. Mix in some shredded cheese of your choice. 4. Use chopped green olives with pimentos in place of pickles. 5. For those in Thailand, use chili bologna in place of plain bologna if you desire a spicy version. 6. For those in Thailand, add some diced cha lua.
