Mayonnaise (your preference for mayo,
salad dressing, or other mayonnaise-type product; I prefer Miracle
Whip Light)
2 carrots, 2 stalks of celery
(optional)
Salt and pepper (optional)
Meat grinder or food processor
Mixing bowl
Instructions:
Hard-boil eggs ahead of time and
refrigerate until cold.
Grind bologna (or ham) using the
finest grind attachment for your meat grinder. If you are using a
food processor, mince bologna (ham) at the finest setting.
Grind (mince) hard-boiled eggs,
adding to the meat as you go.
Grind (mince) carrots and celery
(if desired), adding to meat and egg mixture. (Carrots and celery
add a very nice flavor to the spread, and add color as well.)
Mix in 1/4 cup of sweet pickle
relish. (You may want to add more, depending on desired taste.)
Start mixing in mayonnaise in
small dollops. Mix in until spread is moist, but not loose. Spread
should be thick enough to hold together (such as putting a spoonful
on a cracker).
Continue to mix in relish, mayo,
salt, and pepper to taste. (For low-sodium diets, omit salt and add
a little garlic powder.)
Serve on wheat bread or roll, with
leaf lettuce. You can also serve as hors d'oeuvres by putting out a
bowl of spread and serving with crackers (try Stonewheat crackers!)
Sandwich spread also goes great on
soft rolls (my favorite is potato or snowflake rolls), and even
hotdog buns. And it is great for a summertime picnic!
