Excellent if left for overnight. Next lightly toast the 8 slices of Sourdough Bread until it is just barely tanned and lay-out to begin assembling. Using a spatula, spread the sandwich dressing mixture equally over all the slices of bread. Then, selecting 4 slices of bread, begin by layering in order the peppered turkey breast, havarti cheese, mesquite smoked ham, colby or longhorn cheese, beefsteak tomatoes, alfalfa sprouts, avocado slices, and sprinkle the ripe olive slices over the tops. Cover with the remaining slice of dressed bread. Using a sharp serrated bread knife, slice the sandwich at off-center diagonal, secure with a toothpick if desired. Serve with a spicy corn and black bean relish and blue corn tortilla chips for a great sandwich meal! Try some Prickly Pear infused Lemonade in a saguaro cactus shapped glass with curshed ice and a sprig of fresh mint for an especially fun and tasty touch!
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
