Equipment

  • medium bowl
  • Rimmed Baking Sheet
  • Serrated Knife

Ingredients
  

Salad Topping

  • ½ head iceberg lettuce
  • ¼ medium red onion
  • cup sliced cherry peppers or banana peppers
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green olives optional
  • 1 heaping tablespoon finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes optional
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper

Sandwich Assembly

  • 1 large submarine sandwich roll or 2 medium rolls
  • 4 to 6 slices provolone cheese
  • 6 to 8 slices ham or turkey
  • 4 to 6 slices salami
  • 3 to 4 slices prosciutto
  • 1 medium tomato sliced
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • To make the salad topping, chop the iceberg lettuce into ½-inch ribbons. Thinly slice the red onion. Add both to a medium bowl.
  • Add the cherry peppers, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
  • Heat the broiler to high.
  • Use a serrated knife to split the roll(s) in half lengthwise, leaving the roll(s) attached on one side so that it opens like a book. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Place the cheese in a single layer on both halves of the open roll(s). Broil until melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Top the melted cheese with layers of ham, salami, prosciutto, and tomato.
  • Top with a generous helping of the salad mixture. Top with grated Parmesan. Close the sandwich(es), then slice in half, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a superior sandwich, use high-quality deli meats, cheeses, and Italian-style hoagie rolls. Leftover salad can be stored in a container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
