Directions

Create hollowed-out "boats" with the bottom halves of the baguettes by pulling out the soft bread, leaving a crusty rim 1/4" thick.
Save the removed bread for another use.
Line each boat with a lettuce leaf.
Coat a small no-stick skillet with no-stick spray and warm over medium heat.
Add the mushrooms and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened and golden brown.
In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, basil, mustard, black pepper, and garlic.
Add the mushrooms, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
Set aside for 5 minutes.
Divide the vegetable mixture among the boats.
Top with the turkey, ham, Swiss, Cheddar, onions, and banana peppers.
Drizzle with any remaining vinaigrette.
Top with the remaining baguette halves.
