Cut the bologna into chunks and add it to the bowl of a food processor.
Pulse the food processor several times until the bologna is finely minced, resembling a coarse spread. Be careful not to over-process it into a paste.
Transfer the minced bologna to a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the onion and add it to the bowl with the bologna.
To the same bowl, add mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, yellow mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Stir everything together until thoroughly combined and smooth. Taste the mixture and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill the bologna salad for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
To assemble the sandwiches, lay out 8 slices of bread. Spread a generous amount of the chilled bologna salad onto 4 of the slices.
Top the bologna salad with a lettuce leaf, then place the remaining slices of bread on top to complete the sandwiches.
Slice each sandwich in half, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
