Directions

It’s as simple as pie… or should I say roll-ups? Here’s how to do it in just a few steps:

Layer the meats: Start with the largest slice (Genoa Salami) and stack until the smallest (Pepperoni).
Spread the mayo: Coat the stack with a thin layer of mayo, leaving space at the top of the largest piece.
Cheesy goodness: Add a slice of provolone halfway down the mayo-covered stack.
Lettuce party: Toss on a handful of lettuce on the lower half and sprinkle your favorite toppings.
Roll it up: Grab your toothpicks, hold them close, and from the bottom up, roll tightly while tucking in any sneaky fillings.
Secure the edge: Stick a toothpick through the outer edge to keep everything cozy.
Dipping sauce: Mix 2 parts oil and 1 part vinegar in a small ramekin. Sprinkle in some Italian seasoning.
Enjoy!: Dip your roll-ups in the fragrant oil/vinegar mix and savor every bite.
Storage tip: Wrap extras in plastic and stash them in the fridge for up to a week. These make awesome lunch options! 🥪
