Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Thinly slice mozzarella into rounds. Thinly slice tomato into rounds; season with salt and pepper. Separate prosciutto into slices; thinly slice widthwise into 1-inch-thick strips. Trim and thinly slice cucumber into rounds. Halve orange; slice crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons.
Halve and toast baguettes.
In a small bowl, whisk mayonnaise and 1 TBSP Italian dressing (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until combined. (Save remaining Italian dressing for another use.)
Evenly spread as much Italian mayo as you like on cut sides of baguettes.
Place as much arugula as you like on bottom halves of baguettes. Top arugula with mozzarella, tomato, and prosciutto. Top with as much remaining arugula as you like.
Close to form sandos. TIP: If you have any remaining arugula after building sandos, toss with remaining Italian dressing to make a bonus side salad!
To serve: Divide sandos, cucumber slices, and orange slices between plates. Serve.
To stash: Place two 10-inch pieces of parchment paper (four pieces for 4 servings) on a work surface with a long side facing you. Place a sando in the center of each piece of parchment. Working one at a time, fold up bottom side of parchment over sando, then fold left and right sides to the center. Carefully fold up sando in parchment until parchment seam is on the bottom. Cut wrapped sandos in half. (TIP: Use a serrated knife to easily cut through the parchment.) Refrigerate sandos, cucumber slices, and orange slices in separate containers and pack as desired.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the tasty combination of ingredients, though some found it bland; adding balsamic glaze boosted flavor 🍲.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to assemble, perfect for lunch or picnics. Great for making ahead and packing for on-the-go meals.
- Suggestions: Consider swapping arugula for spinach, using provolone instead of mozzarella, or adding garlic to the mayo for extra zest.
- Portions: Some wanted more prosciutto; others found the arugula ratio high. Consider adjusting meat and greens to preference.
- Bread: A few found the baguette too thick or dry; try a larger roll or grinder for a better bread-to-filling ratio.
Reviews from our home cooks
I have only positive things to say about this recipe, with the exception that I used a fresh large tomato (the one included was small and needed to ripen) and I also used the entire ball of mozzarella cheese on one sandwich! I loved the mayo mixture, really made it more tasty. The arugula was great, added a bit of texture and bite to the sandwich!
Quick and easy meal, but is very high calorie when on a diet. Highly recommend swapping out the tomato with a fresh one if possible, used a freshly picked one from my plant. The recipe is a simple and easy to recreate or find the ingredients when at the grocery store.
Really great combination of flavors. I put the cucumber slices on the sandwich, and used the rest of arugula and cucumbers with remaining dressing as a small side salad.
Easy lunch to assemble. And, bonus, it tastes good too. I even added a little olive oil just to give it a bit more flavor.
Wrapping these in parchment paper is important to hold them together. Tastes good, I like the mix of ingredients and flavors.
Honestly one of the more healthy things but absolutely delicious. Fresh ingredients and good bread. You'll probably eat both at once.
Great to make the night before and take for lunch or traveling!
Really great Italian style sandwich. If there's one thing that I think could've made it even better, a balsamic glaze addition like some of the other prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich recipes that you offer.
Easy to make for lunch and delicious. Would have liked a larger roll/griner to put the sandwich on.
Delicious, but almost too thick of bread? Maybe would be even better with more meat
