Method

Combine all dressing ingredients and mix well. Prepare dressing 12-24 hours in advance. On Game Day, roughly chop the spinach and iceberg lettuce. Place in medium bowl and mix thoroughly with the Italian dressing. Slice bread lengthwise. Scoop out soft insides of loaf, leaving a 1 inch? shell. Spread softened butter or margarine on top half of loaf (this will help prevent sogginess). Spread lettuce mixture to edges on bottom half of loaf .Layer remaining ingredients in order shown. Unless serving immediately, wrap sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and transport dressing separately. When ready to serve, remove top and spread sandwich evenly with yogurt dressing. Replace top and slice into segments with sharp serrated knife.
