Ingredients
  

1 large Italian hoagie roll

1 cup salami, chopped

1 cup capicola, chopped

1 cup provolone cheese, diced

1/2 cup roasted red peppers, sliced

1/2 cup green olives, pitted and chopped

1/2 cup red onion, finely diced

1/2 cup fresh arugula

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Start by preparing the chopped filling. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped salami, capicola, provolone cheese, roasted red peppers, green olives, and red onion.

    In a separate small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create a simple vinaigrette.

      Pour the vinaigrette over the chopped meat and cheese mixture, stirring gently to combine all of the flavors and ensure everything is well-coated.

        Slice the Italian hoagie roll horizontally without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling.

          Stuff the bread with a generous amount of the chopped filling, followed by fresh arugula for added crunch and taste.

            Press down lightly on the sandwich to compact the ingredients, then slice it into halves or quarters for easier handling.
