When I Make Hot Italian Subs Everyone's Happy

provolone cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining creaminess.

salami

🥗Healthier: turkey salami

💰Cheaper: bologna

Turkey salami is lower in fat, while bologna is a cost-effective alternative.

pepperoni

🥗Healthier: turkey pepperoni

💰Cheaper: sliced chorizo

Turkey pepperoni is a leaner option, while chorizo offers a different flavor.

sub rolls

🥗Healthier: whole grain rolls

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain rolls add fiber, while white bread is often less expensive.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Slice the Italian loaf lengthwise, removing some of the bread to make it less fluffy.

Cut the tomato and soak the onion in ice water for 10-15 minutes to reduce pungency.

Layer the ham on the bottom of the loaf, shingling it for even coverage.

Add Mortadella on top of the ham, followed by hard salami.

Prepare a dressing with olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Spread the dressing over the meats.

Top with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, onion, and banana peppers.

Wrap the sandwich in foil and place it in the oven to bake.
