About Italian sandwich

The Italian sandwich is a flavorful creation inspired by traditional Italian cuisine, boasting a medley of fresh, savory ingredients. Typically, it features cured meats like salami, capicola, and pepperoni, layered with provolone or mozzarella cheese. Crisp vegetables such as lettuce, tomato, and red onion provide balance, while banana peppers or roasted red peppers add a tangy kick. It's often served on a crusty Italian roll or ciabatta bread, brushed with olive oil or a herbed vinaigrette for extra zest. Nutritionally, the sandwich offers protein from the meats and cheese, while vegetables supply vitamins and fiber. However, cured meats can be high in sodium and saturated fat, and the bread may contribute to refined carbs based on the type. To make the sandwich healthier, opt for whole-grain bread, leaner protein options, and reduced-fat cheese while maintaining its delicious, hearty essence.
