A quick and easy chopped Italian sub sandwich recipe that balances savory meats, tangy dressing, and fresh veggies for a flavorful and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large Italian sub roll or hoagie roll (about 8 inches; crusty on the outside, soft inside)
  • Olive oil (for toasting the bread, optional but recommended)
  • 4 oz Genoa salami, thinly sliced and chopped
  • 4 oz capicola or spicy ham, chopped
  • 4 oz mortadella, chopped
  • 4 oz provolone cheese, chopped
  • 1 cup iceberg lettuce, finely shredded
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • ½ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • ½ cup pepperoncini peppers, chopped
  • ¼ cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry all fresh veggies. Finely chop the salami, capicola, mortadella, and provolone cheese into bite-sized pieces. Shred the iceberg lettuce and dice the tomato. Thinly slice the red onion and chop pepperoncini peppers and olives (if using).
  2. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine all the chopped meats, cheese, and veggies. Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss gently but thoroughly, making sure everything is coated evenly.
  4. Slice the Italian sub roll horizontally, leaving a hinge on one side. Lightly brush or spray the inside with olive oil, then toast in a skillet or toaster oven until just crisp and warm.
  5. Spoon the chopped filling generously into the toasted roll, pressing gently so it holds together. Optionally, add a few extra pepperoncini or olives on top.

Notes

Keep the dressing separate and toss right before serving if prepping ahead to maintain freshness and crunch. Toast the bread lightly to prevent sogginess. Chop ingredients uniformly for best texture. Avoid overdressing to prevent mushiness.
