Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
Finely chop the celery stalks and the green onion. Mix them into the prepared ham in a medium mixing bowl.
Dice the dill pickle into small pieces and add it to the ham mixture.
In a small bowl, combine the low sodium mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Add the mayonnaise mixture to the ham mixture and stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary, keeping in mind the low sodium requirement.
Lay out the bread slices. Spread an even portion of the ham salad onto four slices.
Top each portion with a lettuce leaf, followed by a slice of tomato.
Cover with the remaining bread slices to form four sandwiches.
Serve the sandwiches immediately or wrap them and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
