Ingredients
- 1 fresh sub roll or ciabatta
- 2 cups romaine or iceberg lettuce, washed and chopped
- 4 oz Italian salami, sliced
- 4 oz mortadella, sliced
- 4 oz pepperoni, sliced
- 4 oz provolone or mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1/2 cup red onions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup pepperoncini, sliced
- 1/2 cup homemade Italian vinaigrette dressing
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by washing and chopping the romaine and peppers, slicing the onion thinly, and chopping any fresh herbs.
- Slice your bread lengthwise without cutting all the way through, forming a pocket for the fillings.
- Layer the salami, mortadella, and pepperoni along the bottom of the bread. Follow with the provolone cheese.
- Pile high with the crunchy veggies, ensuring to evenly distribute the peppers and onions.
- Drizzle with the Italian dressing, allowing the flavors to mingle. Adjust based on your preference for tanginess.
- Close the sandwich gently, pressing down to help everything meld together.
- Wrap the sandwich in parchment and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing for deeper flavor development.
Notes
Opt for the freshest ingredients and avoid overly soft bread to maintain structure. Feel free to substitute meats or cheese to fit dietary needs.
