Categories     Sandwiches

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 loaf ciabatta bread, split in half horizontally
6 slices provolone cheese
6 slices mozzarella cheese
18 slices thinly sliced ham
8 slices thinly sliced salami
8 thin slices coppa ham
2 slices prosciutto
10 slices pepperoni
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon sliced pepperoncini peppers
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ head lettuce, shredded
¼ red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sliced black olives
½ tomato
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place ciabatta cut side-up on a baking sheet and layer one piece of the bread with slices of provolone and the other with mozzarella.
  • Bake on the top rack of the preheated oven until the cheese melts, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and increase the temperature to broil.
  • Layer both sides of the sandwich with folded slices of ham, then alternate between the two sides with a layer of salami, coppa ham, prosciutto, and pepperoni. Broil in the oven until the meats crisp up, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Stir mayonnaise, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, oregano, red pepper flakes, pepperoncini peppers, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Add the lettuce, red onion, and black olives, and toss to combine.
  • Thinly slice the tomato and salt on each side.
  • On one side of the sandwich, layer the tomato slices. Pile a large portion of the lettuce salad on top, then top with grated Parmesan cheese. Carefully fold the two bread slices together to form the sandwich. Cut into 4 triangular portions and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes. This will give your salad a more complex flavor and texture. Try using a combination of waxy and starchy potatoes, such as Yukon Golds, red potatoes, and Russets.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. The best way to check if they're done is to pierce them with a fork. If the fork goes in easily, they're ready.
  • Let the potatoes cool before dressing them. This will help prevent the dressing from becoming watery.
  • Use a mayonnaise-based dressing. This is the classic potato salad dressing, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. You can also use a vinaigrette dressing, if you prefer a lighter flavor.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins. There are endless possibilities when it comes to potato salad mix-ins. Some popular options include celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, and cheese.
  • Chill the potato salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together and make the salad even more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for potlucks, picnics, and backyard barbecues. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a potato salad recipe that everyone will love.
