# How To Cook:

01 - Cut all meats and cheeses into evenly sized, bite-sized portions to ensure uniform distribution throughout the sandwich.
02 - Place chopped meats, cheeses, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, pepperoncini, roasted red peppers, olives, and cucumber into a large mixing bowl.
03 - Whisk together mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until smooth and well blended.
04 - Drizzle the dressing over the chopped mixture, then toss until all ingredients are thoroughly coated.

06 - Generously heap the dressed filling onto each split roll, evenly dividing the mixture among the sandwiches.
07 - Serve at once, or wrap each sandwich securely and refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Uses just one bowl for mixing which means easy cleanup
  • Ideal way to use up deli odds and ends and any fresh vegetables you have on hand
  • Feeds four hungry people generously or easily multiplies for a party spread
  • Customizable for everyone: swap meats cheeses or add more veggies
  • Ready to eat in twenty minutes flat
02 -
  • High in protein from a mix of meats and dairy
  • Freezes well if you keep the filling separate from the rolls
  • Easy to multiply for crowds or parties
03 -
  • Do not skip whisking the dressing thoroughly: poorly mixed dressing means streaks and uneven flavor
  • Toast the rolls for a quick minute if you want extra structure for messy eaters
  • Use tongs or a big spoon for tossing so the filling stays fluffy and not mashed
  • If you want more heat add finely chopped fresh jalapeño to the veggie mix
