For the best flavor, use high-quality mayonnaise. Homemade mayonnaise is especially delicious! Don't overcook the vegetables; they should be tender but still hold their shape. Feel free to adjust the amounts of ingredients to your liking. Some people prefer more pickles, while others like more peas. For a vegetarian version, omit the ham and consider adding other vegetables like chopped celery or cucumber.
