- 4 pieces Hero rolls (or crusty Italian rolls)
- 8 ounces Prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
- 1 cup Green olives, pitted and chopped
- 2 tablespoons Capers, rinsed
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 small Red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh basil, chopped

- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Arugula (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Cut the hero rolls in half lengthwise and set them aside.
In a medium bowl, prepare the olive relish by combining the chopped Kalamata olives, green olives, capers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, fresh basil, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and minced garlic.
Season the olive relish with salt and black pepper, then stir well to combine. Let the relish sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Spread a generous layer of the olive relish onto the bottom half of each hero roll.
Layer the prosciutto slices evenly across the rolls, followed by slices of fresh mozzarella.
If desired, top with a handful of fresh arugula for added freshness and peppery flavor.
Place the top half of the rolls on the sandwiches. Serve immediately or wrap tightly for a packed lunch.
