Ingredients

1 Italian sub roll 4 slices of salami 3 slices of ham 2 slices of cheese ¼ cup shredded lettuce 3 tomato slices 1 tbsp olive oil ½ tsp Italian seasoning 1 tsp vinegar Salt and pepper as per taste

Step 1

Slice the Italian sub roll in length without cutting it, to hold the layer easily to fill with stuffings.

Step 2

On the inner side of the bread, drizzle some olive oil and vinegar evenly to get that Italian tang.

Step 3

Layer the cheese slices first on the bread so that they can melt a little and can serve as a base holding the fillings.

Step 4

Add the salami and ham slices to the bread to make a rich, meaty surface.

Step 5

Garnish the filling with tomato slices and sliced lettuce to obtain extra crunch and freshness to the sandwich.

Step 6

Sprinkle salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning for aromatic depth of flavour.

Step 7

Press the sandwich gently and slice it in half, and serve it fresh. You can also lightly toast it for a warm, melty bite.
