  • Roughly chop the salami, mortadella, ham, provolone, tomato, and red onion. Place them in a bowl with the lettuce and pickled chillies. Dress lightly with the olive oil, red wine vinegar and season to taste, keeping the dressing minimal so the chopped filling stays firm.

Recipe Notes

Storage Instructions

Store the chopped filling tightly wrapped in cling film or in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To keep the texture fresh, wait to add the olive oil and red wine vinegar dressing until just before serving. The herby garlic mayo can be spread on the bread when you assemble the sandwich. If you must pre-assemble, wrap very tightly and eat within 24 hours. Freezing is not recommended.
