Four 6-inch loaves Portugese stick bread, or Italian or French loaves
Balsamic-Herb Vinaigrette (recipe provided below)
8 ounces sliced provolone cheese
8 ounces sliced mortadella
8 ounces sliced spicy ham, such as capicola
8 ounces sliced salami
1 large ripe tomato, cut into eight ¼-inch-thick slices
12 thin onion slices
12 jarred hot or sweet cherry peppers, drained and roughly chopped
2 cups torn green-leaf lettuce
Instructions
Cut the loaves of bread in half lengthwise, and arrange them in a single layer, cut sides up. Liberally brush the bread with the vinaigrette. On the bottom half of each loaf, evenly layer one-quarter of the provolone, followed by one-quarter of the mortadella, one-quarter of the spicy ham, and one-quarter of the salami. Top with 2 slices of tomatoes and 3 slices of onion. Divide the cherry peppers among the sandwiches. Stir the vinaigrette and generously drizzle it over the onion and tomato.
In a small bowl, toss the torn lettuce with some of the remaining vinaigrette. Divide the lettuce among the 4 sandwiches, top with the other halves of the bread, and serve.
