Discover a delightful sandwich recipe using ready-made egg potato salad and crab stick salad. Even simple, inexpensive bread can be transformed into something special! Load it up with plenty of fresh lettuce for a refreshing crunch. We’ll elevate the standard mayonnaise base by adding a kick of spicy fresh wasabi, a touch of bright lemon juice, and a hint of salt for a perfectly balanced savory flavor. Adding slices of ham and creamy cheese creates a harmonious blend of salty ham, rich cheese, and the subtly pungent wasabi mayo. This sandwich is a crowd-pleaser, offering a satisfying and delicious experience without complicated homemade sauces.
Ingredients
- Egg Potato Salad 200g
- Crab Stick Salad 200g
- Fresh Wasabi 4 Tbsp
- Coarsely Ground Black Pepper 2 tsp
- Fresh Lemon Juice 2 Tbsp
- Sliced Ham 8 slices
- Mozzarella Cheese Slices 8 slices
- Lettuce Leaves (e.g., Romaine) 16 leaves
- Bread Slices 4
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Here are the ready-made egg potato salad and crab stick salad we’ll be using. These form the core flavor base of our sandwich.
Step 2
The creamy mayonnaise in the salads can sometimes feel a bit rich. To balance this, we’ll add 4 tablespoons of fresh wasabi and 2 tablespoons of bright lemon juice. Then, add 2 teaspoons of coarsely ground black pepper for an aromatic touch. Combine all these ingredients in a bowl and gently mix with a spoon. If you prefer a saltier taste, a pinch of salt can be added to reduce the richness and enhance the flavor even further.
Step 3
We’ll be using the bread slices without toasting them. Have your sliced ham ready for savory depth, crisp lettuce leaves for freshness, the prepared salads, and slices of melty cheese.
Step 4
Place one slice of bread on a plate to start building your sandwich. Generously layer the fresh lettuce leaves on top. Don’t skimp on the lettuce; it adds a wonderful crispness and fresh flavor.
Step 5
Next, it’s time for the salads. Spread the crab stick salad evenly on one half of the bread and the egg potato salad on the other. Use a spoon or spatula to ensure the salads are spread smoothly and won’t spill out.
Step 6
Place a slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each salad portion. Then, add two slices of ham to each half. Finally, cover everything with another slice of bread to complete the sandwich.
Step 7
Using a serrated knife (bread knife), carefully cut the sandwich in half. Arrange the halved sandwiches on a serving plate. While sandwich wrappers are available, we’ve opted to serve directly on the plate to reduce waste for home consumption. This sandwich offers a delightful combination of the crisp lettuce, savory ham, and creamy salads. The wasabi in the mayo dressing cuts through any richness, making it a satisfying and delicious sandwich from the first bite to the last!
