Ingredients
- 8 oz low sodium cooked ham
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 green onion
- 0.25 cup low sodium mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 dill pickle
- 8 slices whole grain bread
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato
Directions
Step 1
Begin by cutting the low sodium cooked ham into small cubes, or alternatively, pulse it a few times in a food processor to reach a chopped consistency. Be careful not to overprocess it into a paste.
Step 2
Finely chop the celery stalks and the green onion. Mix them into the prepared ham in a medium mixing bowl.
Step 3
Dice the dill pickle into small pieces and add it to the ham mixture.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the low sodium mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Step 5
Add the mayonnaise mixture to the ham mixture and stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
Step 6
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary, keeping in mind the low sodium requirement.
Step 7
Lay out the bread slices. Spread an even portion of the ham salad onto four slices.
Step 8
Top each portion with a lettuce leaf, followed by a slice of tomato.
Step 9
Cover with the remaining bread slices to form four sandwiches.
Step 10
Serve the sandwiches immediately or wrap them and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
