Notes

  1. Size Matter: Use a large chopping board. When ready to chop the ingredients, use a large knife and make sure you thoroughly slice through the meats. You can flip over the ingredients and continue to chop until everything is evenly chopped. Once the dressing is added, flip again and chop.
  2. Change It Up: Feel free to add or substitute your favorite meats, cheeses, and veggies! Have fun! 
  3. Keep It Fresh: Tightly wrap the finished sandwich in plastic and eat it a few hours later. The dressing will moisten the bread and all the ingredients will sing!
