Add the finely chopped celery, red onion, sweet pickle relish, and chopped parsley to the ham mixture. Stir to combine.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir again to distribute the seasoning evenly throughout the salad.
Lay out the slices of whole grain bread and evenly divide the ham salad mixture over four of the slices.
Top each portion of ham salad with a leaf of lettuce and a few slices of tomato.
Close the sandwich with the remaining slices of bread. Optionally, cut each sandwich in half diagonally for presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vegetarian classic ham salad sandwich!
