Add the ham cubes to the belly of a food processor with the chopping blade. Pulse in several short spurts until the meat is finely chopped or minced but not pureed. For me, that usually is about 10 short spurts with the pulse button. Add the onion and celery and pulse 2-3 more times.
Add the ham mixture to a bowl with the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire Sauce, hot sauce, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for 1-2 hours before serving.

For the best taste, use good-quality smoked ham, and don't forget to remove the rind.
I like to chop the other vegetables by hand for a uniform consistency, but you can certainly chop them in the food processor.
I do not find that this dish needs any added salt, but if you do, by all means, use it.
Add the hot sauce to taste, or add a pinch or two of ground cayenne pepper.
Don't forget to cover and chill for a couple of hours so all the flavors meld together.
