Instructions
- Layer Ingredients: On a large cutting board, arrange the deli ham, Genoa salami, pepperoni, provolone cheese, shredded iceberg lettuce, banana peppers, diced tomatoes, and finely chopped red onion in layers.
- Chop Mixture: Using a sharp knife, chop all the layered ingredients together until they are finely diced and evenly combined. Transfer this chopped mixture into a bowl for seasoning.
- Mix Dressing: Add the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the chopped ingredients. Stir thoroughly to coat all the components evenly with the dressing.

Notes
- For extra flavor, add chopped pickles or olives to the chopped mixture before dressing it.
- A drizzle of Italian dressing can be added for a tangier touch.
- This sandwich filling can be made ahead of time; store the chopped mixture separately and assemble sandwiches just before serving to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
