2 tbsp olive oil
1.5 tsp dried oregano
1/8 tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp black pepper

For the Sandwich Filling

1 8-inch crusty hoagie roll
3-4 slices deli ham Thinly sliced and not too wet.
6 slices Genoa salami
6 slices deli pepperoni
3 slices capicola or prosciutto Optional.
2 slices provolone cheese Can be substituted with mozzarella or Swiss.
1 small white onion, very thinly sliced
1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
2 tbsp cherry pepper hoagie spread Or sliced pepperoncini.
3/4 cup shredded iceberg lettuce

Method

Preparation

Slice the hoagie roll lengthwise, but leave one side attached like a hinge.
Gently pull out a little of the soft bread from the center if the roll is thick.

Mixing the Dressing

Add the red wine vinegar, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper to a small jar.
Shake it hard until the dressing looks blended and slightly thick.

Dressing the Lettuce

Place the shredded iceberg lettuce in a small bowl and toss it with about one-third of the dressing.

Building the Sandwich

Drizzle about one-third of the dressing over the bottom half of the roll.
Layer on the ham, salami, and pepperoni, followed by optional capicola or prosciutto.
Add provolone cheese on top of the meats.
Top with thinly sliced onion, tomato, and hoagie spread or pepperoncini.

Finishing Touches

Pile the dressed lettuce on top and drizzle with the remaining dressing.
Close the sandwich, press it gently, and cut it in half to serve.

Notes

This sandwich is best eaten fresh. Store wrapped in the fridge for up to 1 day, keeping the lettuce and tomato separate until serving.
