Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- Dice the bologna into small, bite-sized cubes. Set aside.
- Hard-boil the eggs if not already prepared. Once cooled, peel and chop them into small pieces.
- Finely dice the celery, red onion, and any optional vegetables (like bell pepper or carrots).
Step 2: Make the Dressing
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more sugar or mustard to suit your preference.
Step 3: Combine the Salad
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced bologna, chopped eggs, celery, red onion, and pickle relish.
- Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
- If using additional vegetables like bell pepper or carrots, fold them in at this stage.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
- Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or chopped parsley for a pop of color.
- Serve chilled as a side dish or light meal.
Tips for Success:
- Choose quality bologna: Opt for a high-quality bologna for better flavor and texture.
- Add-ins: Customize with diced pickles, olives, or even shredded cheese for extra variety.
- Make ahead: This salad can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Stir before serving and add a splash of mayonnaise if it seems dry.
- Lighten it up: Substitute half of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
