Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
  • 6 slices ham lunch meat
  • 6 slices salami
  • 6 slices pepperoni
  • 6 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 tomato sliced
  • ¼ cup sliced jarred banana peppers
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise optional
  • ⅓ cup Italian dressing
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 gluten free hoagies or hot dog buns sizes vary, this makes about 4 servings

Instructions

  • In order, layer shredded lettuce, ham, salami, pepperoni, cheese, tomato, banana peppers, and onion on a large cutting board.
  • Chop into small bite-sized pieces. The smaller the better for flavor distribution!
  • Drizzle on mayonnaise and Italian dressing and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
  • Depending on your preferences, you may want to add a little more mayo or dressing.
  • Scoop about ¼ of the mixture into a gluten free bun and serve immediately. I recommend serving with a freshly made gluten free hot dog bun, but if that’s not possible then warm a gluten free hoagie (Canyon Bakehouse is my fav) or hot dog bun in the microwave for 30-45 seconds and it will hold together better.

Notes

  • I used 2 Udi’s French Baguettes but honestly, wouldn’t recommend them. They were kinda big and thick and the texture wasn’t ideal. The best option would be to use my homemade hot dog buns, with the second best option being Canyon Bakehouse hoagie rolls.
  • If you’re feeding a crowd, you can easily double or triple this recipe but I would do it in batches because a single recipe fills up a cutting board and chopping more than that would be difficult.
  • No bun? No problem! You can add a little extra lettuce and serve as a salad, or as a dip with chips.
  • Make sure you check labels, some cold cut meats do contain gluten.
