One great perk that comes along with working in and around food is that you are often surrounded by others who love to cook and eat as much as you do. Serious recipe swapping and swiping occurs as a result. Now, I don't know if Leslie makes anything of mine at home, but this recipe for her ham salad that she passed on to me one day at work is gonna be made in my kitchen, frequently!

Ingredients

• 2 tubes, 6 pieces each, large bake-off biscuits (recommended: Pillsbury brand, from dairy aisle of market)
• 1 pound cooked ham from the deli, 1/4-inch thick slices, diced
• 3 ribs celery, from the heart, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup salad olives with pimento, drained, chopped
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded, finely chopped
• 4 scallions, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley - a couple of handfuls of leaves
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise, just enough to bind salad
