Great Tasting & Easy Recipe for Using Left-over Ham
Ham Fruit Salad Recipe

This Ham Fruit Salad Recipe is from Poland and is commonly made to use up left-over ham, or any other type of left-over meat. Although this easy and simple salad recipe calls for mixed fruit – practically any type of seasonal fruit can be used.

I used a store bought prepared mix of melons which had cantaloupe, watermelon and honeydew already cut up.

I added a few strawberries and blueberries I had in the frig.

I tossed the fruit & ham with a Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing before serving on a bed of Mixed Greens.
