Notes
Go to the deli counter at your local grocery store to purchase the provolone, salami, mortadella and soppressata. Ask for slices cut ½" thick and then cut slices into cubes at home.
If mortadella and soppressata are not available in your area, feel free to substitute 6 oz. of ham (cubed) instead.
