Method

Preparation of Bread

  1. 1

    Slice the Bread

    Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the sub sandwich bread lengthwise, ensuring you don't cut all the way through.

Layering the Ingredients

  1. 2

    Add Proteins

    Begin by layering the deli turkey evenly inside the bread on one side, followed by the deli ham and then the salami.

  2. 3

    Add Cheeses

    Place the provolone cheese on top of the meats, followed by the slices of Swiss cheese to create a flavorful layer.

Adding Vegetables

  1. 4

    Layer the Vegetables

    Add the shredded lettuce evenly over the cheese. Follow with slices of tomato, thinly sliced red onion, and pickles to taste.

Applying Condiments and Seasoning

  1. 5

    Spread Condiments

    In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and Italian dressing. Spread this mixture on the inside of the bread, over the vegetables.

  2. 6

    Season the Sub

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the entire sandwich to enhance the flavors.

Finalizing the Sub

  1. 7

    Close and Serve

    Carefully close the sub sandwich, pressing down gently to secure the fillings. Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately.
