Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients listed above. Wash the lettuce, tomato, and red onion thoroughly. Slice the tomato and red onion thinly.

  2. 2

    Toast the Bread (Optional)

    If desired, toast the submarine rolls in a toaster or an oven until they are lightly golden. This step adds extra crunch to the sandwich.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Spread the Condiments

    Spread the mayonnaise on one side of each submarine roll. On the other side, spread the Dijon mustard and drizzle the Italian dressing.

  2. 4

    Layer the Proteins

    Start by layering the sliced turkey breast and sliced ham evenly on the bottom half of the sandwich rolls.

  3. 5

    Add the Cheese

    Place one slice of provolone cheese and one slice of Swiss cheese on top of the meat layers.

  4. 6

    Top with Vegetables

    Add a generous amount of lettuce, followed by the sliced tomato, red onion, and pickles on top of the cheese.

  5. 7

    Close the Sandwich

    Carefully place the top half of the submarine roll onto the assembled ingredients. Press down gently to compress the sandwich slightly.

Serving

  1. 8

    Cut and Serve

    Using a sharp knife, cut the sandwich in half diagonally. Serve immediately with chips or a side salad.
