WAGSHAL'S SANDWICH

For years we lived a block from this wonderful Jewish deli called Wagshal's in Spring Valley, Washington, D. C. One of my favorite sandwiches was simply called # 300. We no longer live in D. C. and I had to make this sandwich myself. It is exactly the same. You have to get thinly sliced Virginia or Smithfield ham. Serve with a bowl of soup or with potato chips and a dill pickle slice.



Rye or pumpernickel bread
Russian dressing
Coleslaw
Turkey breasts, sliced
Virginia or Smithfield ham, thinly sliced
Emmentaler or regular Swiss cheese, sliced

Lee's Russian Dressing 
½ cup mayonnaise
2 T ketchup
1 T chili sauce
½ t prepared horseradish
¼ t smoked paprika
¼ t onion powder

Mix the above ingredients together in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.

Spread the dressing on both slices of bread.
Add some coleslaw, a with a few slices of turkey, a couple slices of ham and top with Swiss cheese.
