Tomato Pickle Mix
"A few notes and alternatives:Using this recipe as the base mixture, you can add fresh chopped raw onion and/or jarred hot peppers to the mix. In the school system, they had the regular mix for the students and a spiced up version for the faculty and staff. For our photograph, we filled a fresh soft Italian sub roll with provolone cheese, mortadella, sweet capicola and genoa salami. Then we topped it with the pickle mix. We could have also added other toppings such as raw onion, hot peppers or shredded iceberg lettuce...."
