Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked ham

Instructions
Finely chop the cooked ham into small, bite-sized pieces and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Drain any excess liquid from the pineapple chunks (if using canned), then chop them into smaller pieces if needed. Add the pineapple to the bowl with the ham.

In a separate small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing mixture over the ham and vegetables in the large bowl. Gently fold everything together until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
