Variations

• Add sliced olives for a briny burst.
• Swap provolone for mozzarella for a softer melt.
• Add roasted red peppers for sweetness and color.

Tips

• For authentic deli zing, add a splash of red wine vinegar and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
• Toast the roll lightly for extra texture.
• If preparing ahead, chop everything except the lettuce and add it right before serving for maximum crunch.
