Italian Sub
Description
This Italian Sub combines multiple deli meats—pepperoni, salami, ham, capicola, and mortadella—with sliced provolone creating a hearty and savory filling. The sandwich rolls are spread with a mixture of mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to add tang and seasoning. An olive oil dressing mixed with vinegar, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning is drizzled over the lettuce and vegetables to complement the meats and cheese.
The layering of various meats balanced with fresh tomato, onion, shredded lettuce, and banana peppers brings both texture and flavor contrast to each bite. Assembling the sandwich with even amounts on each side ensures consistent flavor throughout. The sandwich can be served whole or cut in half for easier eating.
This sub is suitable for casual meals, picnics, or as a substantial sandwich option. Nutrition estimates vary based on ingredients. Fresh sub rolls and quality deli meats will enhance the overall taste and texture.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar divided
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning divided
- salt
- black pepper
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
- 4 sub rolls
- 8 oz provolone cheese sliced
- 1/4 lb pepperoni deli sliced
- 1/4 lb salami deli sliced
- 1/4 lb ham deli sliced
- 1/4 lb Capicola deli sliced
- 1/4 lb mortadella deli sliced
- 1/2 cup onion sliced
- 1-2 tomato sliced
- 3 cups lettuce shredded
- banana peppers or peperoncini
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of the red wine vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of the Italian seasoning. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the olive oil, the remaining 2 tablespoons of vinegar, the parmesan, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Season to taste with salted pepper.
- Cut the sub rolls in half. Divide the mayonnaise mixture evenly between the sandwiches, spreading some on each half of the roll.
- Top the bread with even amounts of the cheese, then even amounts of all of the meats. (I like to place even amounts of cheese and meats on each side of the sandwich, so that the vegetables are in the center.)
- Add the onions, tomatoes, peppers, and lettuce to the sandwiches. Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the lettuce.
- Fold the sandwiches in half. If desired, cut the sandwiches in half and serve.
