Begin by finely chopping the cooked ham and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Add mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to the chopped ham, stirring until thoroughly combined.
Incorporate the finely chopped celery and green onion into the mixture.
Add the pickle relish and fresh dill to the bowl, mixing to combine evenly.
Season the ham salad with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste as desired.
Lay out the large lettuce leaves on a flat surface.
Spoon the ham salad mixture evenly onto each piece of lettuce, spreading it down the center of the leaves.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese over the ham salad on each lettuce leaf.
Carefully roll each lettuce leaf to envelope the ham and cheese, forming a wrap.
Serve immediately, securing with toothpicks if necessary, to maintain the wrap shape.
