Instructions
- Start by preparing the Italian vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Lay out the slices of Italian bread on a clean surface.
- On each slice of bread, layer 2 slices of Genoa salami, followed by 1 slice of provolone cheese.
- Add a lettuce leaf, a few slices of tomato, and a few rings of red onion on top of the cheese.
- Drizzle each sandwich with the prepared Italian vinaigrette, ensuring the flavors penetrate the layers.
- Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, pressing down gently to hold everything together.
- Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to eat.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add sliced pepperoncini or a spread of spicy mustard.
- Feel free to substitute the provolone cheese with mozzarella or even goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
- Use whole grain or gluten-free bread for a healthier alternative.
