Instructions: With serrated knife, horizontally slice 1 inch off top of loaf.

Pull soft center from bottom half of loaf, making shell with 1/2 inch-thick walls. Reserve soft bread for other uses.

In bowl, mix vinaigrette dressing with cucumber, tomato, and chives or green onion. Brush or spoon about half liquid from dressing mixture evenly over interior of hollow shell. Also spoon enough of the liquid on cut side of loaf top to moisten. Fill cavity with cucumber mixture.

Layer cheese, bell pepper, turkey, salami and onion in shell.

Drizzle remaining dressing over filling. Wrap sandwiches in foil, wax paper or plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 3 hours for best results (but no more than 24 hours).

Unwrap and cut crosswise into about 6 sandwiches.
