Method
Bread & Spread
Prepare roll
Slice the hoagie roll lengthwise, leaving a hinge if you prefer. Toast lightly in a toaster oven or on a skillet for 1–2 minutes until just golden (optional).
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and olive oil until combined. Spread the mixture evenly on both cut sides of the roll.
Meats & Cheese
Layer the sliced meats on the bottom half of the roll in this order for even flavor: turkey (4 oz, folded as needed), ham (2 oz), then salami (2 oz). Overlap slightly to create a compact stack.
Top the meats with the sliced sharp cheddar (2 oz), arranging the slices to cover the meats evenly.
Produce (The Works)
Season the tomato slices with a light sprinkle of kosher salt (about 1/8 tsp) and a few grinds of black pepper.
Evenly distribute the shredded iceberg lettuce (1 cup) over the cheese. Add the seasoned tomato slices (3), red onion rings (4), dill pickle slices (3) and banana pepper slices (1 tbs) on top of the lettuce.
If you prefer, drizzle the red wine vinegar (1 tsp) sparingly over the vegetables to brighten flavors.
Finish & Serve
Sprinkle the dried oregano (1/4 tsp) and the remaining kosher salt (bring total to 1/4 tsp) and black pepper (total 1/8 tsp) evenly over the sandwich fillings.
Close the sandwich, press down gently to compact, and cut in half on a diagonal. Serve immediately. If packing for later, wrap tightly in parchment or plastic to keep components together.
