After just one taste, my husband was asking for the recipe.

Bologna salad is a cherished staple in many Midwestern homes, a dish that brings back memories of family gatherings and church potlucks. This recipe is a delightful blend of creamy textures and savory flavors, perfect for spreading on crackers or sandwiches. It’s a dish that speaks of simpler times, when meals were made with love and shared with those who mattered most. Making bologna salad is like taking a step back into the kitchens of our mothers and grandmothers, where every ingredient was carefully chosen and every bite was a reminder of home.

Bologna salad pairs beautifully with a side of crisp, fresh vegetables like carrot sticks or celery. For a heartier meal, serve it alongside a bowl of warm tomato soup or a classic potato salad. It’s also wonderful spread on a slice of homemade bread or a buttery cracker, making it a versatile dish for any occasion.
