Instructions
- If desired, lightly toast the artisan bread slices to add extra crunch and warmth.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard evenly on one slice of bread, ensuring complete coverage.
- Layer the salami slices generously over the mustard, ensuring they overlap for maximum flavor.
- Add the lettuce leaves on top of the salami for a fresh crunch.
- Place the sliced tomatoes evenly over the lettuce.
- Add the cheese on top of the tomatoes; if the bread is warm, the cheese will slightly melt for added creaminess.
