Ingredients:
1 hoagie roll or sub bun
3 slices deli Italian meats (e.g., salami, ham, and capicola)
2–3 slices provolone cheese
1/4 cup shredded lettuce
2–3 tomato slices
2–3 thin onion slices (red onion preferred)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: banana peppers or pepperoncini for extra zing
Instructions:
1. Prep the Bun:
Slice the hoagie roll lengthwise, but don’t cut all the way through.
Toast the bun lightly in a toaster oven or skillet for extra crunch (optional).
2. Make Grinder Dressing (Optional but classic):
Mix the mayo, vinegar, oregano, a pinch of salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Spread this generously on both sides of the bun.
3. Layer the Ingredients:
Add the provolone cheese to the bottom of the bun.
Layer the salami, ham, and capicola.
Top with shredded lettuce, tomato slices, and onion.
Add banana peppers or pepperoncini if using.
4. Close & Serve:
Close the sandwich, press it gently, and slice in half if desired.
Serve immediately or wrap it for a flavorful lunch later.
