Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (12-inch) Italian sandwich loaf, sliced lengthwise
- 4 cups shredded lettuce
- 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
- 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
- 8 oz sliced salami

- 1/2 cup Italian dressing (oil-based)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions

- On the bottom half, layer the shredded lettuce evenly.
- Add tomato and cucumber slices in a single, overlapping layer for even distribution.
