Ultimate Chopped Italian Sandwich (Deli-Style, Loaded & Bold!)
Savory, tangy, crunchy, cheesy—this sandwich hits every craving at once.
Ingredients (1 large sandwich / easily doubled)
Meats & Cheese
4 slices deli ham, chopped
4 slices salami, chopped
4 slices pepperoni, chopped
2 slices provolone cheese, chopped or torn
Veggies
¼ cup shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce
2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons banana peppers, chopped (mild or hot)
Dressing & Bread
2 tablespoons Italian dressing (creamy or vinaigrette-style)
1 hoagie roll or sub roll, sliced lengthwise
Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the Chopped Filling
On a large cutting board, add the ham, salami, pepperoni, and provolone.
Chop everything together until bite-sized and evenly mixed—this is key to flavor in every bite.
2️⃣ Add the Crunch & Tang
Add lettuce, red onion, and banana peppers to the chopped meats.
Drizzle with Italian dressing.
Chop and fold everything together again until fully combined and lightly coated.
Tip: Don’t overdo the dressing—add a little at a time so it doesn’t get soggy.
3️⃣ Prepare the Roll
Open the hoagie roll and lightly toast it (optional but recommended for texture).
For extra flavor, you can spread a thin layer of:
mayo
olive oil
or a touch of Italian dressing inside the bread
4️⃣ Assemble
Pile the chopped Italian mixture generously into the roll.
Press gently, slice in half, and serve immediately.
Optional Add-Ins (Highly Recommended!)
Diced tomatoes
Chopped black or green olives
A pinch of garlic powder or oregano
Crushed red pepper flakes
Extra provolone or mozzarella
Make It Even Better
Warm version: After assembling, wrap in foil and heat in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 8–10 minutes.
Party tray: Serve the chopped filling as a dip with toasted bread or sliders.
Low-carb: Skip the bread and serve over chopped lettuce as an Italian chopped salad.
