Notes
TIPS:
- You can prepare the salad ingredients a day in advance and store them in the refrigerator. Just remember to leave out the mayonnaise and shredded lettuce until you're ready to put together the Italian sandwiches.
- It's best to chop the filling ingredients into small uniform-sized pieces for the best texture.
- Serve these Italian chopped sandwiches as open sandwiches or on crostini as a delicious appetizer. I even enjoy eating this salad by the spoonful!
- The salad ingredients are super juicy together with the mayonnaise. To avoid soggy sandwiches, make sure to only load the sandwich buns when you are ready to serve them.
