Ingredients

• 2 pieces Sub sandwich roll (Italian-style)
• 6 slices Salami
• 6 slices Capicola
• 6 slices Mortadella
• 4 slices Provolone cheese
• 1 cup Romaine lettuce
• 1 medium Tomato
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 0.25 cup Banana peppers
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend (dried herbs)
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the sub rolls lengthwise, leaving one side connected to create a hinge. Place the rolls on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Layer the salami, capicola, mortadella, and provolone cheese evenly between the two sandwiches on the inside of the rolls.

Step 4

Place the baking sheet in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.

Step 5

While the sandwiches are toasting, prepare the fresh vegetables. Shred the romaine lettuce, slice the tomato and red onion thinly, and set aside.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Italian seasoning blend, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper to create the Italian seasoning spread.

Step 7

Remove the sandwich rolls from the oven and carefully open them slightly. Drizzle the Italian seasoning spread evenly over the warm meat and cheese on both sandwiches.

Step 8

Top each sandwich with a layer of romaine lettuce, followed by tomato slices, red onion slices, and banana peppers for a touch of tang.

Step 9

Close the sandwiches firmly, pressing lightly to help the flavors meld together.

Step 10

Slice each sandwich in half for easier handling and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite chips or a side salad for a complete meal!
