Cut up the gherkins and mince them in your food processor. Remove them to a bowl.
Cut the ham into small pieces and mince it finely in your food processor, working in small batches. Add to the bowl.
Add the onion powder and mustard.
Add the mayonnaise in stages, adding just enough to hold the spread together and keep it moist.
Place in a serving bowl and cover with cling film. Refrigerate at least four hours to allow the flavors to develop.
Serve with crackers or vegetables.
Notes
The recipe calls for 2/3 cup of mayonnaise, but you may not need all of that, depending on how moist your ham and pickles are. The nutrition information is based on the 2/3 cup, however.You can also make this with corned beef or roast beef if you don't eat ham.
