- If needed, wash and shred the lettuce into thin pieces.
- Ensure the ham slices are ready for assembly.
2. Toast the Bread (Optional):
- If you prefer a bit of crunch, you can lightly toast the slices of white bread until they are golden brown. This is an optional step based on your preference.
3. Spread the Mayonnaise:
- Take one slice of white bread and spread half of the mayonnaise evenly over one side using a butter knife or a spoon.

4. Layer the Ham:

5. Add the Lettuce:
- Evenly distribute the shredded lettuce on top of the ham layers on the first slice of bread.
6. Assemble the Sandwich:
- Carefully place the second slice of bread (mayonnaise side down) on top of the lettuce to complete the sandwich.
7. Cut and Serve:
- If desired, use a sharp knife to cut the sandwich diagonally into two triangles or into halves for easier handling.

Tips:

- Consider adding a pinch of salt and pepper to the mayonnaise for enhanced taste.

- Feel free to add additional vegetables like tomatoes or cucumbers for extra freshness.
