Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Italian bread (or ciabatta)
- 4 tablespoons Pesto sauce
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
- 4 slices Salami
- 4 slices Capicola
- 4 slices Mortadella
- 1 large (sliced thinly) Tomato
- 4 leaves Romaine lettuce
- 2 tablespoons Mayo
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Lay out the bread slices on a clean surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of pesto sauce evenly onto two of the slices.
On the next two slices of bread, spread 1 tablespoon of mayo evenly.
Start assembling the first layer by placing 2 slices of provolone cheese on top of the pesto-covered bread slices.
Add 2 slices of salami, 2 slices of capicola, and 2 slices of mortadella on top of the cheese for each sandwich.
Layer 2-3 thin tomato slices and a romaine lettuce leaf on top of the meats.
Drizzle each with a light splash of olive oil (about 1/2 teaspoon per sandwich) and a few drops of balsamic vinegar.
Season lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Top with the mayo-spread bread slices to complete the sandwich.
For a more traditional club sandwich presentation, you can add a third slice of bread in the center of each sandwich by layering additional ingredients in between and slicing into halves or quarters for serving.
