- 1/4 cup roasted red peppers
- 1/4 cup arugula
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Roll: Slice the sub roll in half lengthwise carefully to create two even halves for your sandwich.
- Layer the Meats and Cheese: On the bottom half of the roll, layer the 4 slices of salami, followed by the 4 slices of ham, and then place 4 slices of provolone cheese on top, creating a savory base for your sandwich.
- Add Vegetables: Evenly spread 1/4 cup of roasted red peppers and 1/4 cup of fresh arugula over the cheese, adding color and fresh flavor.
