littleturtle's Note:

Sandwich big enough to feed a crowd. You can make this up to 24 hours ahead, and just unwrap, slice and enjoy. Perfect for picnics.

I made this for lunch for my work crew of 6 men and one woman. There were no leftovers. I substituted swiss cheese for the mozarella and used a poblano pepper. I had quite a bit of dressing left after smearing it on the bread so I dribbled it over both layers of lettuce. I also used less than the full 1/2 pound of capicola because it was sliced so thinly. I guess next time I will make two layer of it.

Left out the turkey, lettuce and mozzarella cheese. Added onions, black olives and crushed hot pickled peppers. We loved the oil/vinegar dressing and thought it was excellent. We LOVED this sub!

Let me tell you, this hit the spot! All of them! We have been craving a sub so decided to make these and we picked a winner here! Loved them! Only thing I did was add pepperoncini peppers and black olives to give it a little more flavor. Excellent!
