Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 rustic boule, round bread loaf
6 oz jar marinated artichoke hearts
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 large tomatoes, sliced
1/2 red onion, sliced
1/2 pound thinly sliced turkey breast
4 oz sliced salami
1/4 lb sliced cheese, any variety
2.25 oz can of sliced olives, drained

Steps:

  • Assemble the sandwich 2-6 hours before serving. Cut loaf of bread horizontally and hollow out the soft bread from both halves, leaving a shell about ¾ inch thick.
  • Drain the artichoke liquid into a small bowl and add the mayonnaise, whisk well to combine. Spread all over both halves of the hollowed bread (you may not use it all).
  • In the bottom half of the bread, begin to layer the tomatoes, artichokes, onions, turkey, salami, cheese and olives. Make sure to start and end with tomatoes with plenty in the middle as well! Everything should mound up pretty tall.
  • Put top half of bread over the mound, and wrap the entire sandwich with plastic wrap, then put it in a large zip top plastic bag.
  • When you're ready to eat, if the sandwich hasn't been smashed under other things in your backpack or cooler, place it on a hard surface and sit on it. Do NOT omit this step!
  • Slice into six wedges to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread like a baguette or sourdough is best for a picnic sandwich, as it will hold up well to being packed and transported.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sandwich will be. Look for fresh, ripe vegetables, good quality meats and cheeses, and flavorful condiments.
  • Don't skimp on the butter: Butter adds flavor and richness to the sandwich, and it also helps to prevent the bread from getting soggy. Use a good quality butter, and don't be afraid to be generous with it.
  • Pack the sandwich tightly: This will help to prevent the sandwich from falling apart when you're eating it. If you're making the sandwich ahead of time, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
  • Serve the sandwich with your favorite sides: Potato chips, coleslaw, and fruit salad are all classic picnic sides. You could also serve the sandwich with a refreshing drink like lemonade or iced tea.
