  • 4 oz. provolone, sliced Cheese choice can be varied.
  • 2 oz. genoa salami
  • 2 oz. hot soppressata or pepperoni For added spice.
  • 1 cup shredded romaine Adds crunch and freshness.
  • 1/3 cup sliced roasted red peppers

  • 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • Kosher salt To taste.

Bread
  • 2 (10″) ciabatta rolls, halved and toasted For best texture, toast the rolls.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. On a large cutting board, chop the tomato, onion, ham, provolone, salami, soppressata, lettuce, red peppers, and peperoncini with a sharp knife until they form bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, pesto, red wine vinegar, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir to combine.
  3. Add the chopped ham and veggie mixture to the bowl and toss everything together until well coated.
  4. Distribute the chopped mixture evenly between the toasted ciabatta rolls and cut each roll in half to serve.

Notes

Serve fresh and warm. Pair with chips, salad, or fruit. Store leftover filling in an airtight container in the fridge; keep separate from the bread.
