This salad has all of the flavours you know from a classic cold cut Italian sub sandwich, but made it into a salad. I love these heartier salads that eat like a meal and I really think you are going to love this one. Loads of veggies, meat, cheese, croutons, pickles, with a lovely zippy dressing. A really fun meal to make to change things up!

Italian sub sandwich or hoagie is made with salami, prosciutto, mortadella, ham and capicola with provolone cheese on submarine bun. Whether you call it a hero, a sub, a grinder or a sandwich, this one is layered with amazing cured Italian meats and provolone cheese. This salad takes direct inspiration from this classic sandwich, but turns it into a salad!
