Source of Recipe


Bon Appetit, August 2001






List of Ingredients



• 1/2 lb. thinly sliced Italian salami (such as Genoa), cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips
  
• 1/2 lb. fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/3-inch cubes
  
• 3/4 cup finely chopped celery
  
• 1/4 cup finely chopped pitted Kalamata olives or other brine-cured black olives
  
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  
• 1/3 cup chopped roasted red peppers from jar
  
• 1 (18-inch-long) French bread baguette
  
• 2 cups thinly sliced radicchio
  






Instructions



1. Combine salami, cheese, celery and olives in a large bowl; toss to blend. Mix mayonnaise and roasted peppers in small bowl to blend; season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
   
   
2. Cut bread into 4 equal pieces. Cut each piece horizontally in half. Scoop out some soft center from each bread piece, leaving a 1/2-inch-thick shell.
   
   
3. Spread dressing in hollow of each bread piece. Divide salad mixture among bottom bread pieces. Top salad with radicchio; press bread tops over. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Wrap sandwiches tightly in foil and chill.)
   
   These are great for a picnic.
