Ingredients
  

Sandwich Base
  • 4 slices Genoa Salami
  • 8 slices Pepperoni
  • 4 slices Deli Turkey Breast
  • 2 slices Provolone Cheese
  • 2 slices Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 cup Iceberg Lettuce Roughly torn
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion Sliced
  • 1/2 cup Tomatoes Sliced, seeds removed
  • 1/4 cup Pepperoncini Drained
  • 2 whole Crusty Hoagie Rolls Lightly toasted
Dressing
  • 3 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
  • 1 Tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt To taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly ground

Equipment

  • Large Cutting Board
  • Sharp Chef's Knife
  • Bench Scraper (optional)

Method
 

  1. Lay your salami, pepperoni, turkey, provolone, and mozzarella flat in the center of a large cutting board.
  2. Pile the iceberg lettuce, red onion, tomatoes, and pepperoncini directly on top of the meats and cheeses.
  3. Using a large, sharp chef's knife, roughly chop the entire pile together until the ingredients are broken down into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Drizzle the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, and olive oil over the chopped pile. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Resume chopping vigorously, mixing the wet ingredients into the dry until everything is finely minced and uniformly coated, resembling a thick coleslaw consistency.
  6. Slice your hoagie rolls open and lightly toast them if desired.
  7. Use a knife or bench scraper to scoop up the chopped mixture and stuff it generously into the rolls.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, do not make this sandwich ahead of time as the bread will become soggy. However, you can chop the filling ingredients and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours, assembling the sandwich right before eating.
