Begin by slicing the bologna into smaller chunks to make it easier to process.
Using a food processor, pulse the bologna until it is finely chopped but not pureed. If you don’t have a food processor, you can finely chop the bologna by hand.
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and dice them into small pieces. Set aside.
Mince the white onion finely to ensure it incorporates well into the salad.
In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped bologna, diced hard-boiled eggs, and minced onion.
Add the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Stir everything together until fully combined and the mixture has a smooth and spreadable texture.
Cover the bowl tightly and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the bologna salad as a sandwich filling with your favorite bread, on crackers as an appetizer, or as a standalone side dish.
