Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and dry the lettuce. Tear or chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a bowl. Slice the tomato and onion into thin rings.

  2. 2

    Slice the Meats and Cheese

    If not pre-sliced, cut the salami, ham, and provolone cheese into thin slices for easy layering.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Cut the Bread

    Slice the submarine roll or ciabatta bread horizontally, ensuring you do not cut all the way through, creating a hinge.

  2. 4

    Layer the Ingredients

    Start by placing a layer of lettuce on the bottom part of the bread. Follow with slices of salami, ham, and provolone cheese. Add the sliced tomatoes and onions on top.

  3. 5

    Add the Dressing

    Drizzle the Italian dressing evenly over the top of the sandwich fillings.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Close the Sandwich

    Carefully close the sandwich by folding the top half of the bread over the fillings.

  2. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half diagonally for easier handling. Serve immediately with additional Italian dressing on the side if desired.
