Ingredients

Grinder Salad

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 head iceberg lettuce (shredded)
  • 1/2 red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1/3 cup banana peppers (sliced)
  • 1 tsp red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Sandwich

  • 3 sub rolls
  • 1/4 pound salami
  • 1/4 pound pepperoni
  • 1/4 pound turkey
  • 1/4 pound provolone cheese
  • 1 tomato (sliced)

Instructions

  1. Make the Grinder Salad: In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined. Add shredded iceberg lettuce, thinly sliced red onion, and sliced banana peppers. Stir everything together to coat the vegetables evenly with the dressing.
  2. Assemble the Sandwiches: Slice each sub roll horizontally without cutting all the way through. Layer salami, pepperoni, turkey, and provolone cheese evenly inside each roll.
  3. Broil the Sandwiches: Preheat your oven’s broiler. Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and broil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the meats are warmed through. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
  4. Add Fresh Toppings: Remove the sandwiches from the oven and layer tomato slices on top of the melted cheese inside each sandwich.
  5. Top with Grinder Salad and Serve: Generously spoon the prepared grinder salad over the tomatoes inside each sandwich. Close the sandwiches gently and cut in half if desired. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh sub rolls for the best texture and flavor.
  • You can substitute turkey with ham or chicken for a different protein variation.
  • Adjust the amount of banana peppers based on your desired spice level.
  • If you prefer a tangier salad, add a bit more red wine vinegar.
  • Broiling time may vary slightly by oven; watch carefully to avoid burning the cheese.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for larger groups.
