Servings: persons

7 ounces green olives jar small
16 ounces giardiniera mix, roughly chopped
3 ounces cocktail onions roughly chopped
2 ounces capers
1/4 cup banana peppers chopped, or pepperoncinis
1/2 cup carrots diced
1/2 cup diced celery
2 cloves garlic minced
1 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 Italian bread round, loaf
1/2 pound sliced ham deli
1/2 pound sliced salami deli
1/2 pound provolone cheese sliced
1/2 pound swiss cheese sliced

1
For the olive salad, drain all jars and add to a medium bowl. Don't forget to roughly chop the cocktail onions, giardiniera mix and banana peppers! Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Set aside while preparing the rest of the sandwich-the longer it sits-the better!
2
Slice the loaf of bread in half to make a top and bottom of the sandwich. Hollow out some of the bread so it won't be too tall to fit in your mouth!
3
Drizzle some of the olive salad juice on the bottom half of the loaf.
4
Layer the ham, provolone, salami and swiss on the sandwich.
5
Top the meats and cheeses with a generous portion of olive salad and add the bread top. OR lively adventurously--fill the hollowed-out bread top with salad, place the bottom half over it, and FLIP! Cut into pieces and serve!
