Ingredients

Scale

Meats:

  • 6 slices turkey salami
  • 6 slices chicken pepperoni
  • 4 slices smoked chicken breast

Cheese and Produce:

  • 1 loaf Italian bread or sub rolls
  • 6 slices mozzarella cheese or cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup green olives, chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

Dressing and Seasonings:

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Finely dice turkey salami, chicken pepperoni, smoked chicken breast, mozzarella cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, green olives, and red onion into uniform bite-sized pieces.
  2. Transfer chopped ingredients into a mixing bowl and incorporate mayonnaise, vinegar, Dijon mustard, oregano, salt, and pepper, thoroughly blending until ingredients are evenly coated and distributed.
  3. Using a sharp knife, slice Italian bread or sub rolls horizontally, creating a wide surface for filling.
  4. Generously layer the mixed ingredient combination across the bread’s interior, ensuring an even and consistent spread from edge to edge.
  5. Press sandwich halves together firmly, creating a compact seal between the filling and bread.
  6. Using a diagonal cutting technique, slice the sandwich into manageable portions that showcase the colorful, mixed ingredients.
  7. Serve immediately at room temperature to maintain the fresh, vibrant flavors and optimal texture of the chopped ingredients.

Notes

  • Aim for uniform, small bite-sized pieces to ensure every mouthful has a perfect blend of ingredients and consistent texture.
  • Swap meats with vegetarian alternatives like plant-based deli slices or grilled tofu for a lighter, meat-free version.
  • Adjust vinegar and mustard quantities to suit personal taste preferences, creating a tangy or milder sandwich experience.
  • Prepare chopped ingredients and dressing separately, storing in airtight containers for quick assembly when hunger strikes.
