Step-by-Step Instructions

Finely chop about a cup of celery and a small yellow onion. Place them into a large mixing bowl.
Dice your cooked ham into small pieces, aiming for about two cups. For a finer texture, pulse in a food processor.
Add the processed ham to the bowl with celery and onion. Gently fold the ingredients together.
Stir in mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, and yellow mustard until reaching a creamy consistency.
Assess consistency; add more mayonnaise or a splash of pickle juice if needed.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Stir again before serving. Enjoy spread on rolls, alongside crackers, or in lettuce wraps.
