Step-by-Step Directions

  1. Layer the Meats: Place the slices of meat on a flat surface, starting with the largest (Genoa Salami). Follow with Mortadella, Sopressata, and Pepperoni, layering them evenly.

  2. Spread the Mayo: Use a thin layer of mayo on the meat stack, leaving a little space at the top of the Genoa Salami to prevent it from oozing out when rolled.

  3. Add Provolone: Place a slice of provolone halfway down on top of the mayo layer.

  4. Add Lettuce & Toppings: On the lower half of the meat stack, add your shredded lettuce and any other desired toppings.

  5. Roll: Gather the toothpicks nearby. Starting at the bottom (where the cheese is), gently roll up the stack as tightly as possible, tucking in any wayward fillings as you go.

  6. Secure & Serve: Once rolled, secure the edges with toothpicks.

To serve, combine 2 parts olive oil and 1 part apple cider vinegar in a small dish. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over it and use it as a dip for your roll-ups. Enjoy your delicious creation!
