Actual Recipe BBB & HS

In a posted comment on the Big Beautiful Biscuits and Ham Salad, I saw a request for an actual recipe. Here it is.

For the biscuits:
Use your favorite drop style biscuit recipe or a store bought dry mix and add:
1/2 cup finely chopped chives
1/3 cup packed shredded cheddar cheese
note; you may need a few more drops of liquid to the dough since you are adding additional non liquid ingredients.

Line a sheet pan with parchment, then drop an approximate three inch blob of dough, leaving a good 1.5 inches in between blobs on the pan. Bake in a 375 oven for about 18-22 minutes, rotating the pan once about half way through.

While the biscuits are baking prepare the salad.
Ham Salad:
1 pound of good deli ham sliced in 1/8 - 1/4 inch slices
7- 10 big green olives chopped up
7-10 large black olives chopped up
2 teaspoons finely chopped chives (reserve from biscuits)
1/2 (or more if you LOVE cheese) cup shredded cheddar cheese
5 Texas Pete baby dill pickles finely chopped
3 Tablespoons diced pimentos
2 - 3 heaping tablespoons mayonnaise
2- 3 heaping teaspoons of a quality Dijon mustard
3-4 (or more depending on your taste) hot sauce or Tabasco
fresh ground pepper to taste

Dice up the ham and place in a medium mixing bowl. Add all other ingredients and mix. Can be chilled or served right away with the warm biscuits. To assemble sandwiches, use a fork to split the biscuits in half, then top with salad and enjoy!
