CALIFORNIA CLUB SANDWICH
A signature trademark of the California club sandwich is the use of avocado, either sliced or as guacamole. This recipe was adapted from www.food.com, and although not stated in the ingredients, you can also add slices of either Cheddar or Swiss cheese like Gruyère to make the sandwich richer and more filling.

Steps:
- To prepare the bread, toast it whichever way you like, in the oven, in a toaster, or under a broiler. Both sides must be toasted.
- Spread one side of each bread slice with mayonnaise. Top two of the bread slices in the following order. Lettuce, two tomato slices, seasoning of salt and pepper (to taste), two slices of bacon, chicken slices, avocado slices, and again a seasoning of salt and pepper to taste.
- Place one layered bread slice chicken side up onto the second layered bread slice and then cover everything with the remaining bread slice mayonnaise side down.
- Secure the sandwich layers by inserting through the top four toothpicks in a diamond-like pattern. Make sure that you've pierced the sandwich all the way to the bottom.
- With a serrated knife, cut the sandwich into four triangular pieces.

CALIFORNIA CLUB SANDWICH
Really nothing more than a traditional club sandwich with avocado, but it really makes a difference in texture as I have always found club sandwiches to be a little dry.

Steps:
- Toast the bread in a toaster, or under a broiler on both sides.

CALIFORNIA CLUB SANDWICH
A longtime favorite sandwich of mine, since first trying the California Sandwich many moons ago at a little "healthfood" deli stand in Pacific Beach, California. This is my version. Use recipe #173076 for ease of preparation. Also good with thinly sliced tomatoes, in place of the cucumbers. I hope you enjoy!

CALIFORNIA CLUB CHICKEN WRAPS
I work in a corporate office, and our cafe has a 'wrap station' every Friday and these are a huge hit with everyone. I got hooked so I watched closely and finally made my own version at home; they are so delicious! If desired, place wrap in a panini maker for 1 to 2 minutes, or until wrap has grill marks and cheese is slightly melted.
