Ingredients

  • Provolone Cheese (4 ounces): Offers a mild, creamy contrast.
  • Iceberg Lettuce (2 generous cups): Adds crunch and freshness.
  • Red Onion (2 sliced intact rings): Brings a sharp, pungent accent.
  • Banana Pepper Rings (1/4 cup): Injects tangy zest.
  • Tomato (1 large, sliced): Contributes juiciness and sweetness.
  • Sub or Hoagie Rolls (4 8-inch): The vessel for all ingredients.
  • For the dressing:
    • Mayonnaise (1/4 cup): Creaminess and binding.
    • Red Wine Vinegar (2 tablespoons): Bright acidity.
    • Italian Salad Dressing (3 tablespoons): Herby and vibrant.
    • Italian Seasoning (1 tablespoon): Depth of Italian spices.
    • Salt and Pepper: Seasoning to taste.

Instructions

  1. Chop: Begin by placing lettuce, ham, salami, pepperoni, provolone, onion, banana peppers, and tomato on your chopping board. Finely chop these ingredients into small, bite-sized pieces to enhance the melding of flavors.
  2. Dress: Add mayonnaise directly onto the chopped mixture. Follow with a drizzle of red wine vinegar, then pour over the Italian salad dressing. Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Mix: Thoroughly combine the ingredients, ensuring the dressing coats every piece evenly, which will imbue the filling with a consistent, savory taste.
  4. Assemble: Evenly distribute the mixture across the four sub rolls, ensuring a generous filling for a satisfying sandwich experience.
  5. Serve: Enjoy the Chopped Italian Sandwich immediately to savor the fresh, vibrant flavors, or pack it for a delightful meal on the go.

Notes

  • Making Ahead: If preparing for later use, store the dressing separately to prevent the sandwich filling from becoming soggy.
  • Storage: Keep the chopped ingredients in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days for optimal freshness.
  • Serving Size: Adjust the portioning depending on the occasion, whether it’s a hearty meal or a light snack.
