Vineyard Spam Salad

Vineyard Spam Salad
Chapter: Salad
Serves: 6

This recipe is all over the internet and is sort of the butt of some jokes because it has Spam in it.

I wasn't able to determine who might claim authorship.

I grew up with Spam in the house and am quite fond of it.

It's actually pretty good. After I made it the first time, I decided it needed triple the lime juice, a handful of sunflower seeds and that the pea pods should be julienned.

1 can Spam

2/3 cup miracle whip

3 tablespoons lime juice

1 tablespoon dry mustard

2 cups green seedless grapes

1 cup pea pods, julienned

1/2 cup thinly sliced red onions

3 tablespoons sunflower seeds


Dice the Spam and fry it for a few minutes to develop a crispy sear. Set aside.

Whisk up a dressing with the Miracle Whip, mustard and lime juice. Set aside.

In a bowl, assemble the salad with Spam, pea pods, onion, grapes and seeds.

Toss with dressing.

Chill before serving.
