Ingredients
1/2 pound deli turkey, thinly sliced
1/2 pound deli ham, thinly sliced
1/2 pound deli roast beef, thinly sliced
1/4 pound salami, thinly sliced
8 slices provolone cheese
8 slices cheddar cheese
8 sandwich rolls or 16 slices sandwich bread
1 cup lettuce leaves, washed and dried
2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dill pickle slices
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: banana peppers, olives, avocado slices, or chips for serving
Instructions
1. Arrange the deli turkey, ham, roast beef, and salami on a large serving board or platter. Fold the slices loosely so the platter looks full and easy to serve.
2. Place the provolone and cheddar cheese beside the deli meats. Keep each cheese type in a neat stack or fan the slices slightly for easy grabbing.
3. Add the lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, and pickles to the board. Keep wet toppings like tomatoes and pickles away from the bread so the bread stays fresh.
4. Set out the sandwich rolls or bread in a basket or along one side of the platter.
5. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and honey mustard to small bowls. Stir olive oil, red wine vinegar, and black pepper together in another small bowl for a quick sandwich drizzle.
6. Invite everyone to build sandwiches with their favorite deli meats, cheese, vegetables, and spreads.
7. Serve immediately, or cover the platter tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
Use freshly sliced deli meats for the best flavor and texture.
Keep deli meats chilled until serving time.
For a lighter option, choose turkey, chicken breast, or lean roast beef.
For a party platter, plan about 3 to 4 ounces of deli meats per adult.
Do not leave deli meats at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within 3 to 5 days.
For gluten-free guests, serve lettuce wraps or gluten-free bread on the side.
