How to Make Bbq Ham Caesar Salad

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  2. Slice leftover ham into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Grill the ham for 5-7 minutes per side, or until lightly charred and heated through.
  3. While the ham grills, prepare the salad dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 large egg yolk, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh parsley and 1/4 cup crumbled bacon bits to the dressing.
  5. In a separate large bowl, combine 5 cups of romaine lettuce, 1/2 cup garlic croutons, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Add the grilled BBQ ham to the lettuce mixture.
  7. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
