Tied together with a drizzle of savory Italian dressing and a touch of mayo, this homemade masterpiece captures the perfect balance of spice and freshness. Ready in just 10 minutes, itβs the ideal quick, flavorful meal for lunch or dinner.
Slice the Italian sub sandwich roll in half lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through, so it opens like a book.
Spread 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise evenly across both halves of the interior of the roll.
Layer 6 slices of Genoa salami on one side of the roll, followed by 8 slices of pepperoni.
Place 3 slices of Provolone cheese on top of the meat layers.
Add 0.5 cup of shredded lettuce evenly on top of the cheese.
Layer 4 slices of tomatoes and 4 rings of sliced red onion for a fresh crunch.
Sprinkle 0.25 cup of banana pepper rings and 0.25 cup of sliced black olives evenly over the sandwich fillings.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of Italian dressing across the top of the fillings for added flavor.
Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Close the sandwich by folding the top half of the roll over the fillings and gently press it down.
Wrap the sandwich tightly in parchment paper or aluminum foil and let it rest for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Unwrap and serve the sandwich immediately, or slice it in half for easier handling if desired.
