Notes
- Ingredient amounts are for one large (approximately 12" hero/sub/hoagie) roll.
- Just increase the ingredient amounts for the number of sandwiches you need.
- A typical New York style hero uses 1/3 to 1/2 pound of deli meat and a thin layer of cheese. Round deli sandwiches typically have a 1/4 pound of meat and one thin layer of cheese. Use these amounts as a general rule.
- Combining the oil and vinegar in a plastic squeeze bottle makes it easy to distribute just the right amount to each sandwich. Pass the bottle around to let individuals add as much oil and vinegar as they like.
