Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, and garlic powder to create the dressing.

Lightly brush the cut sides of the sub roll with the prepared dressing, allowing the bread to absorb the flavors.

Layer the thinly sliced provolone cheese evenly along the bottom half of the sub roll.

Next, arrange the capicola slices over the provolone, followed by the genoa salami.

Evenly distribute the shredded iceberg lettuce over the meats, creating a crisp bed.

Place the tomato slices and drained giardiniera over the lettuce.
