Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Slice each sub roll lengthwise, leaving one edge attached. Toast cut sides under a broiler on high for 1-2 minutes until just golden and crisp.

  2. 2

    Layer 2 oz sliced salami evenly along the bottom of each roll. Arrange 1 oz provolone cheese over the salami for each sub.

  3. 3

    Slice romaine lettuce thinly, tomato into rounds, and onion into paper-thin slices. Pat dry any sliced vegetables to reduce moisture.

  4. 4

    Layer lettuce, tomato, and onion over the provolone, distributing evenly between sandwiches.

  5. 5

    Whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle evenly over the vegetables and close each sub, pressing gently to hold the layers in place before serving.
