Ingredients

  

For the Chopped Filling

• 8 oz deli salami sliced
• 8 oz deli capicola or prosciutto sliced
• 8 oz deli ham sliced
• 8 oz provolone cheese sliced
• 2 cups romaine lettuce chopped
• 1 large tomato diced
• ½ red onion thinly sliced
• ½ cup pepperoncini or banana peppers sliced
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

For the Dressing

• ¼ cup Italian dressing
• 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes optional

For Assembly

• 4 hoagie rolls or sub buns
• Extra Italian dressing for drizzling

Equipment

• Large cutting board
• Sharp chef’s knife
• Large mixing bowl
• Tongs or gloved hands
• Serrated knife for rolls
• Measuring cups and spoons

Method

 

1. Stack deli meats, cheese, and veggies on a large cutting board. Chop everything into small, bite-sized pieces (about ¼-inch). Work in batches if needed for even chopping.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Italian dressing, mayonnaise, oregano, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
3. Add all chopped ingredients to the bowl with the dressing. Toss with tongs or gloved hands until everything is evenly coated. Taste and add more dressing if needed.
4. Cover bowl and refrigerate 10 minutes to let flavors meld.
5. Slice hoagie rolls lengthwise. Stuff each roll with generous amount of chopped mixture. Drizzle extra dressing on top. Close rolls and serve immediately.

Notes

• Use a sharp knife for clean chops-dull knives make it messy.
• Chill filling 10 minutes for better flavor, but eat same day for crisp veggies.
• Toast rolls lightly if you want extra crunch.
• Add olives or artichokes for more Italian flair.
• Store leftovers in fridge up to 1 day, but bread gets soggy fast.
• Go easy on dressing first-you can always add more.
