Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • medium bowl
  • serrated knife

Ingredients
  

Salad Mixture

  • ½ head iceberg lettuce small
  • ¼ medium red onion
  • cup sliced cherry peppers or banana peppers
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green olives optional
  • 1 heaping tablespoon finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes optional
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper

Sandwich Assembly

  • 1 large submarine sandwich roll or 2 medium rolls
  • 4 to 6 slices provolone cheese
  • 6 to 8 slices ham or turkey
  • 4 to 6 slices salami
  • 3 to 4 slices prosciutto
  • 1 medium tomato sliced
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Chop the iceberg lettuce into ½-inch ribbons and slice the red onion thinly. Add both to a medium bowl.
  • Add the cherry peppers, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Broiling

  • Preheat the broiler to high. Use a serrated knife to split the roll(s) in half lengthwise, leaving the roll(s) attached on one side. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Place the cheese in a single layer on both halves of the open roll(s) and broil until melted, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Assembling

  • Top the melted cheese with layers of ham, salami, prosciutto, and tomato. Add a generous helping of the salad mixture and top with grated Parmesan.
  • Close the sandwich(es), slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, use high-quality deli meats and cheeses. You can toast the grinder again after adding the meats for a crispy texture.
