Swiss cheese, sliced
Meat:
Turkey ham, thinly sliced
Beef salami, rich and flavorful

Veggies and Dressing:

A handful of tangy pickled vegetables, diced
2–3 tablespoons of robust olive oil
1–2 tablespoons of red grape vinegar for a zesty kick
1 teaspoon of dried oregano for aromatic seasoning
Directions
Step 1: Toast the Bread
Brush the bread slices with olive oil and toast until crisp and golden brown.
For an extra layer of flavor, lightly rub the toasted bread with a clove of fresh garlic.
Step 2: Prep the Veggies
Finely chop the green and black olives along with the pickled veggies.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with olive oil, red grape vinegar, and oregano. Mix well to coat evenly.
Step 3: Build the Sandwich
On one slice of toasted bread, layer provolone cheese, Swiss cheese, turkey ham, beef salami, and beef mortadella.
Spoon the marinated vegetable mixture generously over the top.
Step 4: Serve
Place another slice of toasted bread on top, press gently to hold the layers together, and serve while warm.
