- 0.5 cup green olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
- 0.75 cup giardiniera (Italian pickled vegetable salad), drained and chopped
- 0.5 cup roasted red peppers, coarsely chopped
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 ounces sliced salami
- 4 ounces sliced mortadella
- 4 ounces sliced capicola
- 4 ounces sliced deli ham

Instructions
Cut the ciabatta loaf horizontally in half and open the halves like a book.
In a medium bowl, combine the green olives, kalamata olives, giardiniera, and roasted red peppers.
Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, basil, and minced garlic to the olive mixture. Stir until well combined.
Spread the olive salad mixture generously over the cut sides of both halves of the bread.
On the bottom half of the bread, layer the salami, mortadella, capicola, and ham, distributing evenly.
Add a layer of arugula or spinach over the meats.
Place the top half of the bread over the sandwich filling, pressing down gently.
Wrap the entire sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and let it sit for at least 30 minutes for flavors to meld. This can be done up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
Unwrap the sandwich and use a sharp knife to cut it into quarters.
Serve immediately, enjoying every bite of the flavorful layers.
