Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Italian sub roll
  • 3–4 slices Genoa salami
  • 3 slices deli ham (low-sodium preferred)
  • 3 slices provolone cheese
  • Handful shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 3–4 thin slices tomato
  • Few thin rings red onion
  • Few slices banana peppers (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Pinch crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice the Italian sub roll lengthwise, leaving a hinge on one side to hold the sandwich together.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  3. Layer 3-4 slices of Genoa salami evenly on the bottom half of the bread.
  4. Add 3 slices of deli ham on top of the salami.
  5. Place 3 slices of provolone cheese over the ham.
  6. Add a handful of shredded iceberg lettuce over the cheese.
  7. Layer 3-4 thin slices of tomato and a few thin rings of red onion on top of the lettuce.
  8. Add banana peppers if desired.
  9. Drizzle or brush the vinaigrette evenly over the veggies.
  10. Close the sandwich gently and press down lightly to meld the ingredients together.
  11. Optionally, wrap the sandwich tightly in parchment paper and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to let flavors meld.

Notes

Use fresh, firm veggies to avoid sogginess. Layer cheese between meats and veggies to create a moisture barrier. Use a light hand with dressing to prevent soggy bread. Toast bread lightly if it feels too airy. Wrap and chill sandwich for 10-15 minutes to meld flavors if desired.
