Dive into the mouthwatering flavors of a *Real Italian Hoagie*, the ultimate deli-style sandwich that’s packed with authentic tastes straight from the Italian kitchen. This classic recipe layers savory Genoa salami, Capicola, Mortadella, and creamy Provolone cheese on hearty hoagie rolls for a perfect blend of meats and cheeses. Topped with crisp shredded lettuce, juicy slices of tomato, and a zingy twist from banana pepper rings, every bite bursts with fresh, bold flavor. A drizzle of homemade vinaigrette—crafted with extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, and just the right amount of salt and pepper—ties it all together, creating a tangy, herbaceous finish. Quick to prepare in just 15 minutes and ideal for lunch, picnics, or even a game-day spread, this Italian hoagie is as versatile as it is delicious. Serve it fresh or let the flavors meld together by wrapping it for later—it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser!
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.
