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:

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.
