250 g roasted chicken breast, sliced
200 g smoked turkey slices
150 g provolone cheese slices
1 large tomato (200 g), sliced
1 small red onion (100 g), thinly sliced
2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce (120 g)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Slice rolls and brush with olive oil and garlic powder. Toast for 5–7 minutes.

Layer chicken, turkey, cheese, tomato, and onion inside the rolls.

Toss salad with dressing until well coated.

Pile the salad onto the sandwiches and press gently.

Slice and serve immediately.
