Ingredients

- 1 loaf white bread Fresh loaf or slightly stale works, but avoid ragged edges.
- 1/2 pound hard salami, sliced thin Deli-sliced preferred; can substitute with turkey salami or capicola.
- 1/2 pound cheddar cheese, sliced thin Use medium-sharp cheddar or substitute with Colby or Monterey Jack.
- 2 to 3 tablespoons mayonnaise Use fresh mayo for best flavor.
- 8 leaves iceberg lettuce, washed Crisp and cold for best texture.
Instructions
Preparation
- Trim the crusts off all the slices of white bread so each bite is soft and uniform.
- Spread a thin, even layer of mayonnaise on each slice of bread.
- On each slice, place one slice of salami, one slice of cheddar, and a small piece of iceberg lettuce.
- Place another slice of bread on top to create a two-layer stack and gently press.
- Cut each sandwich into quarters and secure each quarter with a toothpick.
- Pack the sandwiches in a single layer in a tupperware, keep chilled, and serve when ready.
Notes
Keep everything cold until serving to prevent limp lettuce. Use colorful toothpicks for easier visibility on the beach. Avoid wet toppings to prevent sogginess.
