Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Italian bread or hoagie roll
- 4 slices Salami
- 4 slices Capicola
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
- 4 slices Ham
- 1 cup Lettuce
- 1 large, sliced Tomato
- 0.25 sliced Red onion
- 0.25 cup Pepperoncini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
Instructions
Slice the Italian bread or hoagie roll horizontally in half, leaving one side slightly connected to act as a hinge.
Spread mayonnaise evenly on both interior sides of the bread.
Layer the bottom half of the bread with salami, capicola, ham, and provolone cheese slices, folding the deli meats slightly to add volume if desired.
Evenly distribute the lettuce, tomato slices, red onion slices, and pepperoncini on top of the cheese layer.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until emulsified.
Drizzle the olive oil and vinegar mixture over the vegetables and meats for added flavor.
Close the sandwich by bringing the top half of the bread over the fillings. Gently press down to hold everything together.
Slice the sandwich into portions if necessary and serve immediately. Optional: Wrap the sandwich tightly in parchment paper to let the flavors meld for 10-15 minutes before serving.
