Warm Italian Sandwiches

The homemade dressing adds delicious flavor to these quick to prepare sandwiches. Use any thick bread you like... sandwich buns, sub rolls, etc. 

dressing:
1/3 cup olive oil
4 tsp. white wine vinegar
1/2 T. Italian seasoning
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 oz. can chopped ripe olives, drained

Combine dressing ingredients in a clean glass jar with tight-fitting lid.
Shake to mix well.
Refrigerate any remaining dressing after preparing sandwiches.
To use refrigerated dressing: set out on counter for 10 minutes, then stir. 

sandwiches:
thick sandwich bread of your choice (buns, subs, hoagies, ciabatta, etc.)
hard salami, sliced thin
provolone cheese slices
cooked ham, sliced thin
tomato slices
red onion slices
lettuce leaves

Lightly toast bread, cut sides up. (I use the broiler.)
Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of dressing on the cut side of each toasted bun top.
Refrigerate any remaining dressing. 
Top each bun bottom with slices of salami, provolone cheese, and ham. 
Replace dressed bun tops.
Microwave each sandwich about 20-30 seconds, just until cheese is melted.
Add tomato slices, onion slices, and lettuce to each sandwich.
Serve warm.
