- 1 tablespoon (finely minced) Green onion
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh parsley

Directions
Step 1
Prepare the cooked ham by finely mincing or shredding it. Ensure the pieces are small enough for a smooth and spreadable relish.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the minced ham, sweet pickle relish, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Step 4
Season the relish with salt and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste if desired.

Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Refrigerate the ham relish for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
