Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions for Italian Christmas Sub

  • Begin by placing your large sub roll on a cutting board. Carefully slice the roll lengthwise, leaving a half-inch hinge on one side.
  • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, and olive oil. Whisk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread the dressing on the inside of both halves of the sub roll.
  • Layer genoa salami, provolone cheese, smoked ham, and pepperoni on the bottom half of the roll.
  • Sprinkle shredded lettuce, followed by tomatoes, red onions, black olives, and banana peppers evenly over the meats.
  • Drizzle more dressing over the veggie layer for added flavor.
  • Add fresh basil leaves on top, then close the sub roll by folding over the fillings.
  • Slice the assembled sub into 4–6 sections and serve immediately or wrap in foil to let the flavors meld.
