Ultimate Chopped Italian Sandwich
Ingredients:
4 hoagie rolls
4 ounces each of deli ham, salami, and pepperoni
4 ounces of provolone cheese
2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup banana pepper rings
1 large tomato, sliced
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (for a tangy, concentrated tomato flavor)
1/3 cup pitted green olives, chopped (for a briny kick)
1/4 cup mayonnaise, mixed with 1 tablespoon pesto (for a herby, creamy spread)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons Italian salad dressing
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, chopped (for sweetness and color)
Optional: Crispy bacon bits or pancetta for added crunch and savory flavor
Instructions:
Begin by prepping all your ingredients: slicing the meats and cheese, shredding the lettuce, and chopping the veggies.
On a large cutting board, layer the lettuce, meats, cheese, onion, banana peppers, tomato, sun-dried tomatoes, and green olives.
Chop everything into small, bite-size pieces, mixing as you go to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and pesto. Add this to the chopped mixture on the board.
Drizzle the red wine vinegar, Italian dressing, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper over the mixture, and continue to chop and mix until everything is well combined and evenly coated.
Open the hoagie rolls and fill them generously with the chopped mixture.
For an extra touch, sprinkle roasted red peppers and crispy bacon bits or pancetta over the filling before closing the sandwiches.
This recipe takes inspiration from the viral TikTok trend but elevates the flavor profile with the addition of sun-dried tomatoes, green olives, pesto mayo, and optional roasted red peppers and bacon bits or pancetta. The key to this sandwich is in the chopping, which blends all the flavors together beautifully, ensuring a delicious taste in every bite​
