Ham and cheese sandwich with lettuce and mayonnaise

A ham and cheese sandwich is a classic and satisfying choice for a quick and easy meal. This version, featuring whole-wheat bread, fresh lettuce, creamy mayonnaise, and sharp cheddar cheese, offers a balanced mix of flavors and textures. It's perfect for lunch or a light dinner.

Ingredients:

2 slices whole-wheat bread
54g
4 slices ham
110g
1/2 cup lettuce
24g
1 tbsp mayonnaise salad dressing
16g
1 oz cheddar cheese
27g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Ingredients:
- Make sure your lettuce is washed and dried.
- If you haven't already, slice or shred your cheddar cheese.
2. Toast the Bread (Optional):
- If you prefer a toasty texture, lightly toast the 2 slices of whole-wheat bread in a toaster or in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown. This step is optional.
3. Spread the Mayonnaise:
- Evenly spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise salad dressing onto one side of each slice of bread using a knife.
4. Layer the Ham:
- Place the 4 slices of ham evenly on one of the slices of bread, on top of the mayonnaise.
5. Add the Cheese:
- Place the 1 oz of cheddar cheese evenly on top of the ham. If the cheese is shredded, spread it out; if it is sliced, place the slices so they cover the ham.
6. Add the Lettuce:
- Place the 1/2 cup of lettuce on top of the cheese. Adjust the amount to your preference for extra crunch and freshness.
7. Assemble the Sandwich:
- Take the other slice of bread (with mayonnaise side facing in) and place it on top of the lettuce, pressing gently to hold the sandwich together.
8. Serve:
- Slice the sandwich diagonally or straight down the middle, if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips:

- Choose a good quality whole-wheat bread for added fiber and flavor.

- For a healthier option, you can use reduced-fat mayonnaise or Greek yogurt as a substitute for mayonnaise.

- Lightly toast the bread if you prefer a crunchy texture for your sandwich.

- Add a slice of tomato or some pickles for an extra burst of flavor.

- Ensure the lettuce is fresh and crisp by washing it thoroughly and patting it dry before adding it to the sandwich.

Enjoy your delicious ham and cheese sandwich with lettuce and mayonnaise. The combination of wholesome ingredients makes it not only flavorful but also nourishing. Feel free to customize it with your favorite condiments or add extra veggies to suit your taste.
