DIRECTIONS

  1. Make the salad: Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. There will be extra! And that’s ok. 
  2. Prepare the bread: Heat the oven to 425°F. Cut the bread in half horizontally and drizzle ¼ cup|60 ml oil on the inside of each half. Place on a baking sheet and toast in the oven, cut side-up, for 5 minutes. 
  3. Build the sandwich: Layer the meats on the bottom half of the bread and the cheeses on the top part. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes. Sprinkle ¾ cup|175 grams of salad over the meats, then top the sandwich and cut into quarters. Eat with hands over a trash can while drinking Lambrusco.
