A TikTok-famous sandwich, the Italian Chopped Sandwich brings together classic deli meats, cheeses, and crisp vegetables, all finely chopped and tossed with a zesty vinaigrette. Served on crusty bread, it's a flavorful and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 6 slices prosciutto
- 6 slices salami
- 6 slices pepperoni
- 4 slices provolone cheese thinly sliced
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup red onion finely diced
- 1/2 cup bell pepper finely diced
- 1/2 cup romaine lettuce finely chopped
- 1/4 cup pickled banana peppers finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 sub rolls halved lengthwise
Instructions
- 1. On a large cutting board, layer the prosciutto, salami, pepperoni, provolone, mozzarella, red onion, bell pepper, romaine lettuce, and pickled banana peppers. 2. Using a large chef's knife or mezzaluna, repeatedly chop all the ingredients together until they are very finely diced and well combined. 3. In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing. 4. Pour the dressing over the chopped ingredients on the cutting board. Continue to chop and mix until everything is thoroughly coated and evenly distributed. 5. Evenly divide the chopped mixture between the two sub rolls. Serve immediately for optimal freshness.
Notes
For best results, use a sharp chef's knife or mezzaluna to get a very fine chop. Customize with your favorite Italian deli ingredients like mortadella or giardiniera. Toasting the sub rolls lightly can add an extra layer of texture.
