provolone cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: swiss cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while still providing a melty texture.

salami

🥗Healthier: turkey salami

💰Cheaper: pepperoni

Turkey salami is lower in fat, while pepperoni is often more affordable.

capicola

🥗Healthier: smoked turkey

💰Cheaper: ham

Smoked turkey offers a leaner option, while ham is typically less expensive.

banana peppers

🥗Healthier: sliced cucumbers

💰Cheaper: jalapeños

Sliced cucumbers provide crunch without calories, while jalapeños add heat.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Slice the slider buns in half horizontally without separating them.

Layer salami, capicola, and mortadella evenly on the bottom half of the buns.

Add slices of provolone cheese on top of the meats.

Top with romaine lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, and banana peppers.

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Drizzle the dressing mixture over the toppings evenly.

Cover with the top half of the slider buns.

Wrap the entire slider assembly in aluminum foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the buns are warm.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing into individual sliders.

Serve warm with extra dressing on the side.
