Open Face Southwest Sandwich

One afternoon I simply decided to make these sandwiches without really knowing what I was doing. I was probably in high school at the time. They were so good I called it my “secret sauce” as I didn’t want anyone to know how to make them but to keep coming back asking for more.

I forgot about these as I never really wrote down the recipe except in my brain. I bought warm French bread from the store yesterday because it was $1; can’t beat that. I thought I could use it for delicious French toast but as dinner was approaching I wasn’t in the mood for breakfast and I remembered these glorious sandwiches. They were perfect as it was beyond warm outside and our first 72 degree day of the year! They also were great for a quick dinner as we have been hospital bound the past week and a half to visit my mother-in-law.

Ingredients:

  • 1 loaf of French Bread
  • ½ cup mayo (use 1 cup if you omit the Blue Cheese)
  • ½ cup blue cheese dressing (optional)
  • 1 can black olives, chopped
  • ½ pint cherry tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tsp celery salt
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • Dash of black pepper
  • ½ yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 avocado
  • 12 slices of turkey
  • 12 slices of cheese (I used Kerrygold)

In a small bowl mix together mayo, blue cheese dressing, olives and tomatoes.
