We loved pickled okra as a crisp, biting snack or in our pickletini, but this combination of salty country ham and tangy pickled okra may be our new favorite way to enjoy this decidedly Southern food.

Ingredients

½ cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
4 tsp. honey
1 tsp. chopped fresh dill
⅛ tsp. kosher salt
30 whole pickled okra pods (from 1 [64-oz.] jar)
4 thin slices of country ham, cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips

Directions

Whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, dill, and salt in a small bowl until well combined.
Line a baking sheet with paper towels; place okra pods on baking sheet to drain.
Wrap 1 ham strip around each okra pod, securing with a wooden pick.
Transfer wrapped okra to a large platter. Serve with mustard sauce.
