Bologna Salad

What does a couple in love do with a 2 pound chunk of deli bologna?

They make bologna salad, of course.

Ha!

Johnie and I both had a craving for bologna salad. 

He told me how his mom used to make it,

and I told him how MY mom used to make it.

It's always good to instill competition in a healthy relationship.

So as we approached the grocery store deli together

we were after one thing:

1 pound of chunk bologna.

The clerk dug out her chunk of bologna,

weighed it,

and told us that it weighed 2 pounds.

At the same time....

"We will take it!"

We took it home,

cut it in half

(sliced bologna for sandwiches is good),

and created our bologna salad with the 1 pound chunk.

 We used our Kitchen Aid meat grinder attachment.

I wish I would have gotten a picture of it for you.

We had a lot of fun grinding that bologna.

I don't really have a recipe for you.

But I can give you ideas on what we threw in.

After we ground the bologna was sent through the grinder

(while the grinder was still running)

we sent through

(approximately)

3 TBS. dill relish

2 TBS sliced green olives.

With everything in the mixer bowl we added:

(no measurements, just to taste)

a little mustard

a little ranch dressing

and mayo.

Stirred until all was combined and creamy to our liking.

Yes!

We ate bologna salad for a week.

It's probably best if you make this for a picnic or party.

It makes a lot!

See Ya'all Soon!
