Directions

Step 1

Slice the French bread or sub roll horizontally in half to create a top and bottom piece. Hollow out some of the bread from the center of both halves to make room for the fillings, if desired.

Spread mayonnaise evenly over the cut side of the bottom half of the bread. Spread Dijon mustard over the cut side of the top half of the bread.

Step 3

Layer lettuce leaves over the mayonnaise on the bottom piece of the bread.

Step 4

Add a layer of tomato slices on top of the lettuce, followed by the red onion slices.

Step 5

Evenly layer the turkey breast, ham, and salami over the vegetables.

Step 6

Place provolone cheese slices on top of the deli meats.

Step 7

Add pickle slices on top of the cheese for an extra crunch.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to make a dressing.

Step 9

Drizzle the dressing evenly over the assembled ingredients.

Step 10

Place the top half of the bread over the fillings and press down gently to compact the sandwich slightly.

Step 11

Cut the hero sandwich into two equal halves and secure each half with a toothpick if needed.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy!
