"Sandwich big enough to feed a crowd. You can make this up to 24 hours ahead, and just unwrap, slice and enjoy. Perfect for picnics."

I made this for lunch for my work crew of 6 men and one woman. There were no leftovers. I substituted swiss cheese for the mozarella and used a poblano pepper. I had quite a bit of dressing left after smearing it on the bread so I dribbled it over both layers of lettuce. I also used less than the full 1/2 pound of capicola because it was sliced so thinly. I guess next time I will make two layer of it.

Left out the turkey, lettuce and mozzarella cheese. Added onions, black olives and crushed hot pickled peppers. We loved the oil/vinegar dressing and thought it was excellent. We LOVED this sub!

Let me tell you, this hit the spot! All of them! We have been craving a sub so decided to make these and we picked a winner here! Loved them! Only thing I did was add pepperoncini peppers and black olives to give it a little more flavor. Excellent!

Mmmm! This was absolutely delicious! Since I was afraid of the garlic tasting "raw", I used jarred minced garlic. I also added some pickles, sliced onions, and a bit of mayo and mustard. I'm already thinking about the other half that I'll be having for lunch tomorrow. YUM-O!

This was my kind of sandwich. It was better than any deli takeout sandwich I have ever had. I halved the recipe and I left off the green pepper, but added onion. Was very good. I had a bit for dinner last night and some more for lunch today. This is a keeper.

I made this sandwich for a luncheon I catered and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. I did make a few changes: I didnt have oregano so I didnt add it, I used black forest ham, pepperoni, Genoa salami, mozzerella and provolone cheese, I added red bell pepper slices instead of green, added purple onion slices, and I used a french loaf for the bread. I will definitely be making this again! Thanks for posting!
