Scale

- 1 pound bologna
Proteins:
- 3 hard-boiled eggs
Condiments and Additions:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) pickle relish
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) mayonnaise
- Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Chop bologna and hard-boiled eggs in a food processor, creating a rustic, coarse texture while avoiding over-processing.
- Transfer the chopped mixture into a mixing bowl, introducing pickle relish and creamy mayonnaise, then thoroughly blend all ingredients until evenly distributed.
- For enthusiasts seeking enhanced flavor complexity, incorporate shredded cheddar cheese, gently folding to integrate additional richness and tangy notes.
- Present the prepared salad as a versatile spread, layering onto fresh bread, toasted slices, or pairing with crisp crackers for an effortless and satisfying bite.
Notes
- Chop ingredients carefully to maintain a rustic, chunky texture that prevents the salad from becoming too mushy.
- Use high-quality mayonnaise for a richer, more luxurious flavor profile that elevates the classic spread.
- Consider swapping traditional bologna with turkey or chicken bologna for a leaner protein option that reduces overall fat content.
- Experiment with additional mix-ins like diced celery or green onions to introduce extra crunch and freshness to the classic recipe.
