PROS

This sandwich is quick and easy to prepare and is perfect for a light lunch or snack.

The sweet and tangy flavor of the apricots balances out the salty flavor of the ham, making for a tasty and satisfying sandwich.

CONS

This sandwich is not particularly filling and may not be enough for a full meal for some people.

It should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet due to the high sodium content of the ham.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Apricots are a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as fiber and potassium.
Ham, on the other hand, is high in protein but can be high in sodium and saturated fat.
To make this sandwich healthier, opt for low-sodium ham or turkey and add some leafy greens for some extra nutrition.
