With its vibrant vegetables, crispy textures, and indulgent yet allergy-friendly ingredients, this club sandwich is proof that going dairy-free doesn't mean skimping on flavor.
Begin by cooking the bacon. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
While the bacon cooks, toast the bread slices until golden brown. You can either use a toaster or the oven until they reach your desired crispiness.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and the avocado into slices. Set aside.
Spread 1 tablespoon of dairy-free mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice.
On a cutting board, lay out two slices of toasted bread with the mayonnaise side up. Place a leaf of romaine lettuce on each slice, followed by two slices of turkey.
Add a few tomato slices and a couple of avocado slices on top of the turkey. Sprinkle lightly with salt and black pepper.
Place another piece of bread on top of the layer, mayonnaise side down. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the top of this bread slice as well.
Continue layering with two more turkey slices, three bacon slices, one more lettuce leaf, and another layer of tomato and avocado. Sprinkle again with salt and pepper.
Top with the final piece of toasted bread, mayonnaise side down.
Insert a sandwich pick or toothpick into each end of the sandwich to hold the layers together. Cut the sandwich diagonally into halves or quarters for easier handling and serve immediately.
