For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a smear of pesto to one or both sides of the ciabatta before adding the cheese. If you don't have pepperoncini, banana peppers or even a touch of giardiniera can be used as a substitute. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the spice level of the dressing. For best results, use high-quality Italian deli meats. The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just be sure to toss it with the lettuce right before assembling the sandwich to prevent it from getting soggy.
