Ingredients:

1 tbsp mayonnaise salad dressing
16g
2 oz lowfat cottage cheese
60g
2 slices multi-grain bread
50g
4 slices ham
110g
1/2 cup lettuce
24g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Ensure all the ingredients are ready to use. Measure out the mayonnaise salad dressing, low-fat cottage cheese, and lettuce.
2. Toasting the Bread (optional):
- For a crunchier sandwich, you can lightly toast the multi-grain bread slices. Simply place them in a toaster for a short duration until they are golden brown.
3. Spreading the Mayonnaise:
- Take one slice of multi-grain bread and spread the 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise salad dressing evenly across one side.
4. Assembling the Sandwich:
- Layer of Ham: Place the 4 slices of ham directly on top of the mayonnaise-covered bread slice.
- Cottage Cheese: Spread the 2 ounces of low-fat cottage cheese evenly over the ham slices.
- Lettuce: Add 1/2 cup of lettuce on top of the cottage cheese for a fresh, crisp layer.
5. Completing the Sandwich:
- Place the second slice of multi-grain bread on top of the lettuce. If you prefer, you can add a thin layer of mayonnaise to the inside of the top slice for additional flavor.
6. Serving:
- Cut the sandwich in half diagonally for easier handling and serving.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and delicious combination of flavors.

Tips:

- For added flavor, consider toasting the multi-grain bread before assembling the sandwich.

- Feel free to experiment with additional toppings such as tomato slices, cucumbers, or avocado for extra freshness and nutrients.

- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of mustard or a few slices of pickled jalapenos.

- To ensure even distribution of cottage cheese, spread it evenly on one slice of the bread before layering the other ingredients.

- For a lower-calorie option, use a light mayonnaise salad dressing or a yogurt-based alternative.

Congratulations! Your delicious ham and cottage cheese sandwich with lettuce is ready to be enjoyed. This wholesome meal is perfect for lunch, dinner, or even a quick snack. Its nutritious ingredients make it both satisfying and healthy. Enjoy your meal!
