There is nothing quite like a classic Italian hoagie to hit the spot for lunch. It is the perfect combination of salty meats, creamy provolone cheese, and crisp vegetables that gives you that authentic deli flavor right in your own kitchen.

My favorite trick for the best sandwich is to let the oil and vinegar soak into the bread for just a few minutes before eating. It makes every single bite soft, flavorful, and completely delicious.

🧺 Ingredients

1 long crusty Italian sub roll
3 slices Genoa salami
3 slices spicy capicola
3 slices mortadella
2 slices provolone cheese
1/2 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
3 thin slices of tomato
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
A pinch of salt and black pepper

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Slice your sub roll open lengthwise but keep one side attached like a hinge.
2
Layer the salami, capicola, and mortadella onto the bottom half of the bread.
3
Place the provolone cheese slices over the meat.
4
Top the cheese with the sliced tomatoes, red onions, and shredded lettuce.
5
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper.
6
Drizzle the dressing over the vegetables and meat before closing the sandwich.
7
Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately.

💡 Tips

If you are packing this for a picnic, keep the dressing in a small container and add it right before you eat to prevent the bread from getting soggy. You can also add some banana peppers or olives if you like a little extra kick.
