hot day, cold ham?
It's been hot here. I'd like to make something for dinner that I don't need to cook at all. I have some ham I could use, but there my creativity ends. The ham will end up in pieces, so sandwiches won't work. We don't have mayonaisse, so salads won't work.
Any ideas?

dice ham into small bits, mix with some shredded cheese. Place between 2 slices of bread and grill on a pan until melted.
Ham and cheese melts done quick! Not super cold, but one skillet shouldn't heat up the house too much. have with a nice salad.
Hope this helps.

We don't have any lettuce. Also, DH doesn't really like lettuce. He's a tough one.

Do you have oil and vinegar and a few spices? You could whip up some homemade dressing, cook some pasta and make a pasta salad with the ham and whatever veggies you have around.
“When you get to the end of all the light you know
and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown,
faith is knowing that one of two things will happen:
you will be given something solid to stand on,
or you will be taught how to fly.” - Edward Teller
“Our Earth is degenerate in these later days;
there are signs that the world is speedily
coming to an end;
bribery and corruption are common; children no
longer obey their parents;
every man wants to write a book and the
end of the world is evidently approaching.”
— From a translation of an inscription on
an Assyrian clay tablet, circa 2800 B.C.E.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

I'd make a sort of antipasto snack plate with ham, cheese, crackers, olives or pickles, carrot sticks, apple slices, deviled eggs, and whatever else I can think of.

These are good ideas. I ended up defrosted Mac n cheese I had cooked previously for dinner last night.
But. I also defrosted some ham (I have more in the freezer). I could use more ideas. I'm thinking of cooking some pasta now before it gets to warm along with a white sauce. Add the ham and some veggies. Then all we have to do is nuke our individual portion.

Personally I like adding cooked ham to macaroni and cheese. That and some sauteed onions and celery. Really yummy when served warm.

Lunch meats and ham are good cooked in a skillet with spices and wrapped in a tortilla with raw veggies and a bit of ranch or italian dressing.

I throw ham in with scrambled eggs & cheese.
Also, if you have a box of pasta-roni, some of those flavors go well with ham. I like using pasta-roni as I can find them for 75 cents then I add in other veggies or meat. (or both depending on what's on hand)LDR

Dice up some of the more scrappy pieces of ham. Wash a few large baking potatoes, then nuke them.
Load out hot potatoes with cheese, ham, butter, s & p and anything else your family likes...Yummy!
