Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces salami thinly sliced and chopped
  • 8 ounces ham thinly sliced and chopped
  • 6 ounces provolone cheese chopped
  • 2 cups iceberg lettuce shredded
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup red onion finely diced
  • 1/2 cup pepperoncini peppers chopped
  • 1/2 cup Italian dressing
  • 4 whole sub rolls toasted

Method
 

  1. Slice the sub rolls in half lengthwise and lightly toast them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 3-4 minutes until slightly crispy. Set aside.
  2. Take the salami, ham, and provolone cheese and chop them into small bite-sized pieces, about half-inch cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the shredded lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped pepperoncini peppers to the bowl with the meats and cheese.
  4. Pour the Italian dressing over all the ingredients in the bowl. Using tongs or two large spoons, toss everything together until well combined and evenly coated with dressing.
  5. Open the toasted sub rolls and generously pile the chopped mixture onto the bottom half of each roll, distributing evenly among the four sandwiches.
  6. Top with the other half of the roll and press down gently. Cut each sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately while the bread is still warm and crispy.

Notes

For best results, chop all ingredients into similar-sized pieces so every bite has a perfect mix of flavors. You can prepare the chopped mixture up to 2 hours ahead and keep refrigerated, but add the dressing and assemble just before serving to prevent soggy bread. Feel free to customize with your favorite Italian meats like capicola or mortadella, and add banana peppers or olives for extra flavor.
