Step 1

Begin by slicing the round loaf horizontally into two equal halves to form sandwich tops and bottoms.

In a medium bowl, combine chopped green and black olives, artichoke hearts, olive oil, garlic, parsley, red wine vinegar, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Mix well to create the olive salad.

Add a layer of reduced sodium Swiss cheese slices over the meats.

Step 7

Place sliced red bell peppers on top of the cheese layer.

Spread the remaining olive salad over the red bell peppers.

Step 9

Place the top half of the bread loaf over the filling to complete the sandwich.

Step 10

Press down gently, then carefully wrap the entire sandwich tightly in plastic wrap to allow the flavors to meld in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
