Prep: 30 min. Broil: 5 min.

Yield: 12 Servings

30 5 35

Ingredients

1-1/3 cups giardiniera
2/3 cup chopped pitted green olives
2/3 cup pitted ripe olives
2 loaves (1 pound each) unsliced French bread
1/4 cup fat-free Italian salad dressing
1/2 pound thinly sliced deli ham
1/2 pound thinly sliced deli turkey
1/2 pound sliced reduced-fat provolone cheese
1/2 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef
1/2 pound sliced reduced-fat Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
2 medium tomatoes, sliced
2 cups shredded lettuce
1 large red onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings

Directions

Place giardiniera and olives in a food processor; cover and process until coarsely chopped. Set aside.
Cut bread in half lengthwise; carefully hollow out top and bottom of loaves, leaving 1/2-in. shells (discard removed bread or save for another use). Place on two large baking sheets. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 3-4 minutes or until toasted. Brush bottom halves with dressing; layer with ham, turkey and provolone cheese. Spread top halves with olive mixture; layer with roast beef and Colby-Monterey Jack cheese.
Broil 2-3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Layer bottom halves with tomatoes, lettuce and onion; replace tops. Cut each loaf into six slices. Yield: 12 servings.

Italian Marinade

Prepared Italian salad dressing makes a simple marinade for salmon. Just marinate the fish in the dressing in the refrigerator overnight, then drain and discard the marinade and cook the salmon as desired. —Kathryn McCormick, Warrensburg, Missouri
