Ingredients
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 french baguette sliced horizontally
- ½ pound deli ham thinly sliced
- ¼ pound salami thinly sliced, such as Genoa salami
- ¼ pound mortadella
- 8 ounce Provolone cheese sliced
- 2 cup romaine lettuce shredded
- 2 large tomatoes sliced
- ½ medium red onion thinly sliced
- ½ cup banana peppers
- ¼ cup Italian dressing
Instructions
- Start by splitting your French baguette horizontally and generously spreading mayonnaise on the bottom half. Begin your sandwich build with a layer of Provolone cheese, using up half of your slices.
- On top of the cheese, arrange your deli meats, starting with the ham, followed by the salami, and finally the mortadella.
- Continue your sub by layering the remaining Provolone cheese slices, hen generously add the shredded romaine lettuce, tomato slices, and thinly sliced red onion. Add a tangy bite with the banana peppers, scattering them evenly across the sandwich. Drizzle your Italian dressing over everything to add that quintessential zesty flavor.
- Crown your sandwich with the top half of the baguette. To serve, cut the sandwich into four or six equal pieces, depending on your preference.

Notes
- Meat Variations: You can easily customize this sandwich to suit your preference. If you're not a fan of certain deli meats, feel free to substitute with others you prefer.
- Bread Choices: While I recommend a French baguette for its crunchy exterior and soft interior, other bread types like Italian roll or ciabatta can also work well in this recipe.
- Prepping Ahead: If preparing these sandwiches in advance, consider adding the dressing just before serving to prevent the bread from getting soggy.
- Storage Tips: The sandwich is best consumed on the day it's made, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge, well-wrapped, for up to a day.
- Watching Sodium: For those watching their sodium intake, opt for low-sodium deli meats and cheese, and be mindful of the salt content in the dressing.
