Steps:
- For the carrot slaw: Mix the grated carrots with the vinegar, mayonnaise, chives, parsley, caraway, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl.
- For the sandwiches: Lightly toast the bread. Prop the bread against something and let it cool upright so that the steam does not make it soggy.
- Lay out the bread and generously slather with mustard. Divide the turkey equally among 4 slices of the bread and the cheese evenly among the remaining 4 slices. Top the turkey with the carrot slaw and pickles, then invert the bread with the cheese over top to make 4 sandwiches. Wrap each sandwich in wax paper and refrigerate for up to 4 hours until ready to serve.
- Cut the sandwiches in halves or thirds before serving.
BUTTERMILK GREEN GODDESS SLAW
This herby coleslaw variation was adapted from "The Animal Farm Buttermilk Cookbook" (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2013) by Diane St. Clair. In it, a tangy buttermilk- and avocado-spiked green goddess dressing takes the place of the usual mayonnaise mix, for a slaw that's both lighter and fresher tasting. Like most coleslaws, it gets better as it sits so, if you have time, plan to make it a few hours ahead. Save any extra dressing to use as a dip for cut vegetables or for other salads. It will keep for up to two days in the fridge.
