Here’s a simple and delicious Italian Combo Sandwich recipe 🥪🇮🇹 — perfect for lunch or a hearty snack.
Ingredients (makes 1 sandwich)
- 1 sub roll or ciabatta bread
- 2–3 slices salami
- 2 slices ham
- 2 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 2–3 slices tomato
- Lettuce leaves (romaine or iceberg)
- 2–3 slices red onion (optional)
- Banana peppers or pepperoncini (optional, for tangy spice)
- 1–2 tsp Italian dressing or olive oil & vinegar
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep bread
- Slice your roll in half lengthwise.
- Lightly toast if desired.
- Layer sandwich
- Start with lettuce on the bottom half.
- Layer salami, ham, and cheese.
- Add tomato, onion, and peppers if using.
- Dress & season
- Drizzle Italian dressing over the top.
- Sprinkle a little salt and pepper if desired.

Tips
- For a spicier version, add sliced pepperoni or a little hot giardiniera.
- Use a crusty bread for best texture.
- Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes for flavors to meld if you want a slightly “pressed” taste.
If you like, I can also give a quick air fryer version that melts the cheese perfectly and crisps the bread. Do you want me to do that?
