Instructions

  • Mix the oil and vinegar in a shaker bottle. Shred the lettuce and season with oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle a bit of the oil and vinegar (save most of it for the sandwich) onto the lettuce and set aside.
  • Layer the meat, then the cheese onto 1 large hero sub roll.
  • Top with the seasoned lettuce and cherry peppers. Add as much sliced tomato and onion as you like.
  • Soak the bread and meats with the oil and vinegar mix.
  • Eat quickly so the sandwich doesn't become too soggy. Enjoy!

Notes

Ingredient amounts are for one large (approximately 12" hero/sub/hoagie) roll. Just increase the ingredient amounts for the number of sandwiches you need. A typical New York style hero uses ⅓ to ½ pound of deli meat and a thin layer of cheese. Round deli sandwiches typically have a ¼ pound of meat and one thin layer of cheese. Use these amounts as a general rule. Combining the oil and vinegar in a plastic squeeze bottle makes it easy to distribute just the right amount to each sandwich.
