Sandwich Ingredients

Olive Salad Ingredients

Method

Olive Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Olive Salad

    In a medium bowl, combine the chopped green olives, chopped black olives, finely chopped celery, chopped red bell pepper, and minced garlic.

  2. 2

    Mix the dressing

    In a separate small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, dried oregano, and ground black pepper.

  3. 3

    Combine

    Pour the dressing over the olive mixture and stir well to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 4

    Slice the Focaccia

    Cut the focaccia bread in half horizontally to create a top and bottom for the sandwich.

  2. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of the focaccia, layer the Genoa salami, followed by the ham, and then the provolone cheese.

  3. 6

    Add the Olive Salad

    Spoon a generous amount of the olive salad over the provolone cheese.

  4. 7

    Top and Press

    Place the top half of the focaccia on the sandwich and press down gently. You can wrap it in foil for a few minutes to help meld the flavors together.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich into manageable portions and serve immediately, or wrap it up for later.
