Vegetables, Herbs, and Condiments:
- 1 red onion
- 2 cups green lettuce, chopped
- 1/3 cup banana pepper rings, from jar

- 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper

Instructions
- Extract the pepperoncinis, removing and discarding the seeds. Precisely dice the banana peppers, pepperoncinis, red onion, and lettuce into uniform, small pieces and transfer to a spacious mixing vessel.

- Generously layer the robust filling into sub rolls, creating a hearty sandwich. Garnish with an additional sprinkle of oregano to enhance the aromatic essence of this Italian-inspired creation.
Notes
- Always remove seeds from pepperoncinis to control heat level and prevent overwhelming spiciness in the sandwich.
- Dice meats and cheese into uniform small pieces to ensure balanced flavor distribution and easier eating experience.
- Finely chop vegetables to create a cohesive texture that allows ingredients to blend seamlessly when mixed with dressing.
- Use wooden spoon for gentle mixing to prevent ingredients from breaking down or becoming mushy during preparation.
- Consider using gluten-free sub rolls for those with dietary restrictions without compromising the authentic Italian sandwich taste.
- Adjust vinegar and oil quantities based on personal preference to customize the sandwich’s tanginess and moisture level.
- Let mixture sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and develop deeper, more complex taste profile.
