And it couldn't be simpler to make—just assemble the deli meats and cheeses and add a little mayonnaise, if desired. The creativity is in your choice of bread. If you use Italian bread or boule (round, peasant bread), just hollow out the center. (You'll cut down on carbs and also make it easier to transport.) You can also pack individual packets of condiments so everybody can choose his or her own.

Directions

step 1Slice Italian bread in half lengthwise. Scoop out the bread inside each half (about 2 cups), creating a hollow.

step 2Lay the first piece of Saran™ Premium Wrap lengthwise on top of the bottom half of bread. Lay sliced turkey on top of plastic. Follow with cheese, arugula and roasted red peppers. Lay a second piece of plastic wrap on top of the sandwich filling and seal the edges of the plastic. Top with the remaining half of bread, wrap and refrigerate until ready to eat. (This process separates the filling from the bread, allowing the bread to stay fresh and not get soggy.)

step 3When ready to eat, unwrap sandwich upside down, remove the bottom half of the bread, take off the bottom piece of plastic wrap and apply mayonnaise, if desired, before putting back the bread. Flip sandwich over and remove the top half of bread. Remove the top piece of plastic wrap and apply mayonnaise before putting the bread back. Cut into 8 pieces.
