Chopped Italian Sandwich

Instructions:

  1. On a large cutting board, combine ham, salami, pepperoni, provolone, onion, banana peppers, tomatoes, and lettuce.
  2. Drizzle the mixture with mayo and Italian dressing.
  3. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Chop everything together until evenly mixed and well coated.
  5. Slice open the hoagie roll and pack it generously with the chopped filling.
  6. Press lightly to shape and serve immediately.

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.
