Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 4 pieces Italian bread or hoagie rolls
  • 2 cups Lettuce Chopped
  • 1 cup Tomatoes Diced
  • 1 medium Onion Sliced
  • 1/2 cup Pepperoncini Sliced
  • 6 ounces Salami
  • 6 ounces Capicola
  • 6 ounces Provolone cheese
For the Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt To taste
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper To taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by slicing the Italian bread or hoagie rolls horizontally to create a delightful pocket.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced onions, and pepperoncini for a punch of flavor.
  3. On the bottom half of the bread, layer slices of salami and capicola, followed by the provolone cheese for that perfect melt.
  4. Spoon the vibrant salad mixture atop the meats, then drizzle with olive oil, a splash of red wine vinegar, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Close your sandwich, slice it into portions, and get ready to serve!

Notes

Wrap any leftovers tightly in plastic wrap or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best enjoyed the same day, but if stored, consume within 2 days for optimal freshness. For extra crunch, toast the bread lightly before assembling. Let your veggies drain for a few minutes to avoid sogginess in your sandwich. Experiment with different cheeses for varied flavors.
