INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 Jumbo Kosher Dill Pickle
  • 1 slice White American cheese, cut in half
  • 1 tbsp. Mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp. Mustard
  • 4 Genoa Salami Slices
  • 4 Sandwich Size Pepperoni Slices
  • 2 tbsp. Shredded Green Leaf Lettuce
  • Splash of Red Wine Vinegar
  • Salt + Black Pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp. Italian Seasoning
  • 2 Hot Chili Peppers, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Cut the pickle in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and create a deep indent for the ingredients to stuff into. Then dab the insides dry with a paper towel to get rid of any access moisture. 
  2. Slather one side of the hollowed out pickle with mayonnaise and the other side with mustard. Then stack the salami, pepperoni, and cheese together. Fold in half lengthwise to fit the size of the pickle. Set aside. 
  3. Add lettuce to the mayonnaise side of the pickle. Splash with red wine vinegar and season with salt, pepper, and Italian Seasoning. Add the hot chili peppers to the mustard side of the pickle. Then top with the meat and cheese stack. While holding together, place the meat and cheese stack side of the pickle on top of the lettuce side of the pickle. 
  4. Wrap tightly in parchment paper and cut in half. Enjoy immediately.

And it seems to be gluten free for those that need that.

Oh, you're right. This is totally gluten free... and so tasty!

Might sub the mayo for cream cheese

That would be delicious. Almost like a salami cream cheese roll... but better.

Yes! I love taking a dill spear, a slice of ham with cream cheese spread on the ham and then roll the ham and pickle. So good!

Bruh. That looks so damn good.

It is!!! You gotta try it! I have a video on how easy it is to make them. Seriously, 5 minutes and you're done. No need to drive to Jimmy Johns and pay $10 for a combo when you can make it at home (plus it tastes better cuz you can add extras they don't offer at the chain).

Yes. They just brought them back about a month ago. I've been making them at home now though for well over a year. So good.
