calories: 294

Ingredients:

  • 1/8 cup thinly sliced red onion, separated into rings

  • 1/2 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, rinsed and coarsely chopped

  • 1/2 medium tomato, seeded and diced

  • 1 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

  • 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 12-inch baguette, preferably whole-grain, sliced in half horizontally, cut into 3rds

  • 1 slice provolone cheese, halved

  • 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce

  • 1/8 cup sliced pepperoncini, or more to taste

Directions:

Place sliced onion ring in a small bowl and add cold water to cover. Set aside while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

Combine artichoke hearts, tomato, vinegar, oil and oregano in a medium bowl. Cut baguette into 3 equal lengths. Split each piece horizontally. Rinse onions and pat dry. You will have 1/3 of the baguette leftover.

To assemble sandwiches, divide provolone among the bottom pieces of baguette. Spread on the artichoke mixture and top with the onion, lettuce and pepperoncini. Cover with the baguette tops. Serve immediately.
