Instructions

  1. Prep and chop ingredients: Finely chop your Italian cold cuts, provolone cheese, and fresh vegetables into bite-sized pieces to ensure every bite is perfectly balanced.
  2. Mix in a bowl: Combine the chopped meats, cheese, and vegetables in a large bowl. Add the Italian herbs and toss everything gently.
  3. Dress the mixture: Pour in the Italian vinaigrette gradually and mix until all ingredients are evenly coated, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  4. Prepare the bread: Slice your bread roll horizontally but not all the way through, creating a cradle to hold the filling securely.
  5. Assemble the sandwich: Spoon the dressed mixture generously onto the bread. Press gently, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Chill ingredients before assembling to enhance freshness and texture.
  • Use high-quality, authentic Italian cold cuts for the best flavor.
  • Add vinaigrette gradually to avoid soggy bread.
  • Choose crusty bread like ciabatta or Italian rolls to keep the sandwich crisp.
  • The chopped filling can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for convenient assembly later.
