California club with Creamy Cucumber Slaw

California club sandwiches are amazing. The addition of creamy avocados on a turkey sandwich is one of the best parts of it.

But this creamy cucumber slaw is a game changer. This is my family’s favorite sandwich.

It is served on a soft, fresh baked hoagie roll made from my Italian Bread and toasted in the oven for a toasty roll and hot, melted cheese.

The creamy cucumber slaw makes this sandwich super messy, so it is not a good picnic sandwich. This sandwich is only good fresh. The creamy cucumber slaw is amazing, but the vinegar in the dressing does not keep the vegetables crisp for more than one day.
