Elevate your lunch game with this deliciously satisfying Ham and Coleslaw Sandwich—a perfect blend of savory, creamy, and tangy flavors. Built on a foundation of your favorite bread (think hearty whole-grain, tangy sourdough, or a soft sandwich roll), this recipe layers buttery crispiness, tender slices of deli ham, crunchy lettuce, zesty mustard, and creamy coleslaw for the ultimate bite. With just 10 minutes of prep and no cooking required, this quick and easy sandwich is ideal for a busy weekday lunch or an effortless, crowd-pleasing picnic snack. Customize yours with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors, and serve it cut diagonally for a rustic touch. Pro tip: butter the bread to keep the coleslaw from making it soggy, ensuring every bite is fresh and full of texture!
Start by preparing your workspace and ensuring all ingredients are ready to use.
Lightly butter one side of each slice of bread. This will help add flavor and prevent sogginess from the coleslaw.
Spread the mustard evenly on the unbuttered side of one slice of bread.
Layer two lettuce leaves on top of the mustard for added crunch and freshness.
Add 3 slices of ham on top of the lettuce, overlapping slightly for even coverage.
Spread half the coleslaw (1/2 cup) on top of the ham, spreading it evenly with a spoon or butter knife.
Add the final 3 slices of ham on top of the coleslaw to create a double layer of ham.
Season lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper for added flavor.
Spread the remaining coleslaw (1/2 cup) on the unbuttered side of the second slice of bread.
Place the second slice of bread on top of the stack, coleslaw-side down, and gently press to hold the sandwich together.
Cut the sandwich diagonally for easy eating, if desired, and serve immediately.
