Ingredients

• 6 slices Italian bread (or ciabatta)
• 4 tablespoons Pesto sauce
• 4 slices Provolone cheese
• 4 slices Salami
• 4 slices Capicola
• 4 slices Mortadella
• 1 large (sliced thinly) Tomato
• 4 leaves Romaine lettuce
• 2 tablespoons Mayo
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Lay out the bread slices on a clean surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of pesto sauce evenly onto two of the slices.

Step 2

On the next two slices of bread, spread 1 tablespoon of mayo evenly.

Step 3

Start assembling the first layer by placing 2 slices of provolone cheese on top of the pesto-covered bread slices.

Step 4

Add 2 slices of salami, 2 slices of capicola, and 2 slices of mortadella on top of the cheese for each sandwich.

Step 5

Layer 2-3 thin tomato slices and a romaine lettuce leaf on top of the meats.

Step 6

Drizzle each with a light splash of olive oil (about 1/2 teaspoon per sandwich) and a few drops of balsamic vinegar.

Step 7

Season lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 8

Top with the mayo-spread bread slices to complete the sandwich.

Step 9

For a more traditional club sandwich presentation, you can add a third slice of bread in the center of each sandwich by layering additional ingredients in between and slicing into halves or quarters for serving.
