Use UNREFINED sea salt, not table salt. Also, replace the whole-wheat with whole-grain bread.

Actually, why even add the salt!? Also, it should be "100% Whole Wheat" bread. "Whole Grain" does NOT equate to whole wheat flour. Read the ingredients list. "Whole Grain" breads are usually made with "enriched flour" with just some seeds added to the mix. Enriched flour is simply refined flour (wheat seeds that are processed to take off the nutrient rich outer layer and germ) with some processed vitamins/minerals added back into the flour. Enriched flour is also bleached. The vitamins, minerals, and protein are best from the natural source; thus, the reason to leave the whole seed alone and grind it all into flour. You could still have "100% Whole Wheat" bread with some "Whole Grains" in it-- you just have to search for it, or make it yourself. You should really read the ingredient list with more scrutiny to be assured you are buying the right thing. You could even try a douse of extra virgin olive oil, instead of the mayo. E.V.O.O. is much healthier than mayo, with plenty of mono-un-saturated fats. You could even infuse herbs into a bottle of the extra virgin olive oil to flavor it.
