Back-to-School Italian Chopped Sandwich
A genius lunchbox hack! All your favorite Italian sub ingredients chopped into a creamy, perfectly distributed filling that's easy to eat and even better to pack.
Equipment
- Sharp Chef's Knife
- Large Cutting Board
Ingredients
- 3-4 large hoagie rolls
- 3-4 oz salami thinly sliced
- 3-4 oz ham thinly sliced
- 3-4 oz pepperoni thinly sliced
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- 8 oz shredded lettuce
- 1 red onion peeled & thinly sliced
- 3-4 slices tomato
- 1/4 cup pepperoncini sliced
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp Italian dressing
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Spread the shredded lettuce in an even layer on a large cutting board.
- Add the onion, pepperoncini, and tomato slices on top.
- Layer the meats (salami, ham, pepperoni) over the veggies, then top with provolone slices.
- Dollop the mayo, vinegar, Italian dressing, oregano, salt, and pepper directly onto the meat.
- Using a sharp knife, chop everything together until you have a fine, creamy, evenly mixed filling (all pieces about the same size).
- Divide the filling into 3–4 logs, each about the length of your hoagie buns. Place the open buns on top of the logs.
- Slide a knife flat under each log, flip the bun over with the filling inside, and press gently to seal.
- Serve immediately, or wrap in parchment for a portable lunchbox meal.
