Simple ham and lettuce sandwich

A simple ham and lettuce sandwich is a quick and easy option for a satisfying meal. This recipe combines nutritious multi-grain bread with savory ham and fresh lettuce, finished off with a creamy mayonnaise salad dressing. It's perfect for a quick lunch or a light dinner.

Ingredients:

2 slices multi-grain bread
80g
1 tbsp mayonnaise salad dressing
16g
4 slices ham
110g
1/2 cup lettuce
24g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Ensure all ingredients are ready. Wash the lettuce thoroughly and pat it dry.
- Measure out the mayonnaise, ham, and lettuce for ease of assembly.
2. Toast the Bread (Optional):
- If you prefer a bit of crunch, you can toast the multi-grain bread slices lightly until golden brown. This step is optional based on your texture preference.
3. Spread Mayonnaise:
- Take one slice of multi-grain bread and spread the mayonnaise salad dressing evenly on one side using a butter knife.
4. Add Ham Slices:
- Lay the 4 slices of ham evenly over the mayonnaise-covered bread. Ensure the ham slices cover most of the bread for full flavor in every bite.
5. Add Lettuce:
- Place the 1/2 cup of lettuce on top of the ham. Arrange it to cover the ham evenly, adding a refreshing crunch to the sandwich.
6. Top with Second Slice:
- Place the second slice of multi-grain bread on top of the lettuce to complete the sandwich.
7. Serve:
- Cut the sandwich diagonally if you prefer, or leave it whole. Serve it immediately for the freshest taste.
8. Enjoy:
- Your simple ham and lettuce sandwich is ready to eat. Pair it with a side of fresh fruit, chips, or a beverage of your choice for a complete meal.

Tips:

- For a healthier option, use whole grain or low-fat mayonnaise.

- Add a slice of tomato or some cucumber for extra crunch and flavor.

- Lightly toast the bread to add texture and prevent sogginess.

- Choose high-quality deli ham for the best flavor.

- Season the lettuce with a pinch of salt and pepper for added taste.
