Bocadillo de salami

Bocadillo de salami is a variety of the Spanish bocadillo sandwich, consisting of a Spanish-style baguette (barra de pan) that's generously layered with thin slices of salami. After it’s been cut lengthwise, the bread can (optionally) be moistened with a drizzle of olive oil or rubbed with tomato halves and garlic for added flavor. It can also get toasted for added crispiness before the ingredients of the filling are assembled. Apart from the salami, the filling may also contain slices of cheese (such as panela, mozzarella, Manchego, Gouda, or Edam), cherry tomatoes, onions, or arugula leaves. In Spain, this simple salami sandwich typically comes accompanied by a soft drink or a glass of cold beer on the side, and it can be eaten as an afternoon snack (merienda), a light in-between-meal, or it can be served for dinner.
