Ingredients in Healthy Roast Beef Sandwiches
I recommend getting the roast beef freshly sliced at the deli counter. Tell them you want it very thin, and look for a low sodium option if that is important to you.
The “Arby’s Sauce” is included in the nutritional information. But feel free to skip it if you don’t want the sauce.
