Slice in half for the two servings and serve immediately for best taste. Maybe add a handful of kettle chips on the side if you’re feeling classic.
Chef’s Notes
For the best texture and flavor, use cold deli meats and chop everything with a sharp knife to maintain consistency. Don’t rush the chopping—it’s what gives the sandwich that perfect, scoopable bite every time. I recommend tossing the filling in a large bowl to fully coat every piece with the dressing, almost like making a salad.
If you’re infusing, mix your cannabis-infused olive oil into the dressing first to ensure even distribution. Start with 1 tablespoon and adjust based on your desired potency and tolerance. Always label infused versions clearly and keep them separate from non-infused options if serving a group.
Toasted bread makes a huge difference—soft rolls with a crisp edge hold up best to the juicy filling. And don’t be afraid to prep the filling in advance—it actually tastes even better after 30 minutes in the fridge as the flavors meld together.
