Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (finely minced or shredded) Cooked ham
- 2 tablespoons Sweet pickle relish
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons (finely minced) Celery
- 1 tablespoon (finely minced) Green onion
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the cooked ham by finely mincing or shredding it. Ensure the pieces are small enough for a smooth and spreadable relish.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the minced ham, sweet pickle relish, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Add the finely minced celery, green onion, and chopped fresh parsley to the bowl. Stir gently to incorporate the vegetables into the mixture.
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.
Once chilled, spread the ham relish onto thin slices of white or whole-grain bread to make tea sandwiches. The crust can be trimmed off for a more elegant presentation.
Serve immediately or keep the prepared sandwiches covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
