1 large ciabatta loaf
4 oz thinly sliced cured turkey
4 oz thinly sliced salami
4 oz provolone cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup chopped tomatoes
½ cup sliced red onion
½ cup roasted red peppers
¼ cup sliced pepperoncini
2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp dried oregano
salt and black pepper

Instructions

Slice ciabatta loaf into 4 halves
Chop turkey, salami, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, roasted peppers, pepperoncini, and basil into uniform ½-inch pieces
In a bowl, combine chopped ingredients with olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper
Fill the bottom half of each ciabatta with the chopped salad mixture

The dressing clings better when ingredients are chopped uniformly
Resting the sandwich prevents spills and softens bread
