There is nothing quite like a classic Italian hoagie for lunch. It is the kind of sandwich that feels like a real treat because it is loaded with high quality meats and crisp vegetables on a crusty roll.

My favorite thing about this recipe is how simple it is to put together. Just make sure your lettuce is nice and cold for the best crunch, and do not be shy with the oil and vinegar dressing.

Ingredients

1 crusty Italian sub roll
3 slices ham
3 slices Genoa salami
3 slices capicola
2 slices provolone cheese
2 leaves iceberg lettuce, shredded
3 slices ripe tomato
2 thin slices white onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 pinch dried oregano
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1
Slice your sub roll open lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through.
2
Layer the ham, salami, and capicola on the bottom half of the bread.
3
Place the provolone cheese on top of the deli meats.
4
Add the tomato slices and white onion over the cheese.
5
Top with a generous handful of shredded lettuce.
6
Whisk the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
7
Drizzle the dressing over the lettuce and close the sandwich.
8
Press down slightly to combine the flavors and serve immediately.

💡 Tips

To prevent a soggy sandwich, place the lettuce against the bread and drizzle the dressing on it right before eating. You can store leftover ingredients separately in the fridge for up to two days. Wrap the finished hoagie tightly in parchment paper if you need to take it to work or on a picnic.
