Start by preparing the meats: chop pepperoni and salami.

Chop provolone cheese into small pieces.

Prepare the vegetables: chop tomato, red onion, and Romaine lettuce, ensuring the lettuce is crunchy.

Make a homemade dressing by mixing mayonnaise, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, black pepper, a tiny bit of red wine vinegar, and pepperoncini with some of its juice.

Combine all the chopped meats, cheese, and vegetables in a bowl with the dressing.

Choose your favorite bread; the creator uses a Portuguese roll but suggests a hero as an alternative.

Scoop the mixture into the bread, packing it tightly for a full sandwich.

Wrap the sandwich if you're taking it to go, or enjoy it immediately.
