Gather your ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ham, green onions, chopped celery, hard-boiled egg, and dill pickles. Mix gently until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth. Incorporate pickle juice and black pepper. Add hot sauce if desired.

Pour the dressing over your ham mixture and toss thoroughly with a spatula until well-coated.

Taste your salad and adjust seasoning with kosher salt or more black pepper as desired.

Serve immediately on a platter with crackers or in lettuce wraps for a refreshing option.
