Ingredients
- 1 large Italian roll or sub roll (10–12 inches)
- 3 slices salami
- 3 slices capicola
- 3 slices mortadella
- 2 slices provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
- 1/4 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons sliced banana peppers or mild peppers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Slice the Italian roll lengthwise, keeping the bottom intact.
- Layer the salami, capicola, and mortadella evenly on the bottom half of the roll.
- Add the provolone cheese on top of the meats.
- Layer the shredded lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, and banana peppers evenly over the cheese.
- Drizzle olive oil and red wine vinegar over the sandwich.
- Sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to taste.
- Serve cold, or lightly toast the sandwich to crisp the bread and soften the cheese, if desired.
Notes
- The sandwich can be customized with roasted vegetables, specialty cheeses, or vegetarian/plant-based alternatives.
- Sturdy Italian bread works best to prevent sogginess.
- The order of layering can be adjusted based on preference for flavor balance and texture.
- Cold sandwiches keep ingredients distinct; toasting adds warmth and enhances flavors.
