Ingredients
- 4 Hoagie rolls
- 8 slices Genoa salami
- 8 slices Capicola (Capocollo)
- 8 slices Mortadella
- 8 slices Provolone cheese
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 2 large Tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Banana pepper rings
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through to keep the sandwich intact.
Layer 2 slices of Genoa salami, 2 slices of Capicola, 2 slices of Mortadella, and 2 slices of Provolone cheese onto the bottom half of each hoagie roll.
Evenly distribute the shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and sliced red onions over the meats and cheese on each roll.
Top with banana pepper rings for a tangy kick.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a simple vinaigrette.
Drizzle the vinaigrette evenly over the assembled hoagies to enhance the flavor of the ingredients.
Close the hoagie rolls and press down slightly to pack the ingredients together.
Serve immediately or wrap tightly in parchment paper for later – this helps the flavors meld together.
