WHAT IS THE BELLA HADID SANDWICH RECIPE?

In September 2022, Bella and her friend went on a picnic and sent the internet into a frenzy. People wanted to know what was in the sandwich. She posted a second video in early October as a follow-up, and that’s what we are making today.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

The ingredients for the Bella Hadid Sandwich recipe on a table.
  • Bread: Any sandwich bread will do; we used French bread because that’s what we had on hand. You can also use a soft baguette or hoagie.
  • Basil Aioli: This is my favorite part of the sandwich; the aioli contains basil, mayonnaise, garlic, mustard, and lemon juice.
  • Balsamic Vinaigrette: Make a quick vinaigrette using olive oil, balsamic glaze, salt, oregano, red pepper flakes, pepper, and dried basil.
  • Protein: Fill the sandiwich with thinly sliced deli turkey and salami slices.
  • Cheese: In one video, Hadid made the sandwich with brie, and in another, she did it with provolone- so it’s safe to say there is room for experimentation.
  • Toppings: Diced red onions, thinly sliced iceberg lettuce, pepperoncinis, and fresh tomatoes finish the sandwich.
