Antipasto Salad Sandwiches

This high-protein antipasto salad sandwich delivers the bold, savoury flavours of a classic Italian deli platter in a convenient handheld format. Featuring a vibrant mix of Genoa salami, creamy fresh mozzarella, and briny Kalamata olives, every bite is balanced by the peppery crunch of sliced radicchio. The use of a hollowed-out baguette ensures a generous filling-to-bread ratio, while a zesty roasted red pepper mayonnaise adds a delightful moisture and tang to the crusty loaf.

Ideal for a sophisticated packed lunch or a summer picnic, these sandwiches are specifically designed to be made in advance. Spending a few hours wrapped in the fridge allows the dressing to lightly marinate the ingredients without making the bread soggy. Serve these substantial rolls on their own or alongside a light green salad for a satisfying, nutrient-dense meal that is as practical as it is delicious.

Ingredients for Antipasto Salad Sandwiches

  • 230g thinly sliced Italian salami (such as Genoa), cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips

How to make Antipasto Salad Sandwiches

Combine salami, cheese, celery, and olives in large bowl; toss to blend. Mix mayonnaise and roasted peppers in small bowl to blend; season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.

Cut bread crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Cut each piece horizontally in half. Scoop out some soft centre from each bread piece, leaving 1/2-inch-thick shell. Spread dressing in hollow of each bread piece. Divide salad mixture among bottom bread pieces. Top salad with radicchio; press bread tops over. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Wrap sandwiches tightly in foil and chill.)
