Ingredients
  

1 large Italian hoagie roll

1 cup mixed greens (spinach, arugula, romaine)

½ cup diced tomatoes

¼ cup chopped red onion

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ cup sliced pepperoncini peppers

½ cup sliced black olives

¼ cup sliced cucumbers

½ cup Italian dressing (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

½ pound deli meats (capicola, salami, and turkey)

½ pound provolone cheese, sliced

Optional: crushed red pepper flakes for added heat

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salad Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed greens, diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, Parmesan cheese, pepperoncini, black olives, and cucumbers. Drizzle with Italian dressing and sprinkle with oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to combine.

    Slice the Hoagie Roll: Carefully slice the Italian hoagie roll in half lengthwise, ensuring not to cut through completely. You want to create a pocket for the filling.

      Layer the Meats and Cheese: Starting at the bottom of the hoagie roll, layer the deli meats evenly, followed by the provolone cheese slices.

        Add the Salad Mix: Spoon the prepared salad mixture generously over the meats and cheese, allowing it to mound slightly.

          Top it Off: Optionally, sprinkle a few crushed red pepper flakes for an extra kick, then close the sandwich gently.

            Serve: Cut the sandwich into manageable portions and serve with additional Italian dressing on the side if desired. Enjoy this delicious, layered Italian Grinder Sandwich!
