Ingredients

Scale

Grinder Salad

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, shredded finely
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced thinly
  • 1/3 cup banana peppers, sliced

Sandwich

  • 3 sub rolls
  • 1/4 pound salami
  • 1/4 pound pepperoni
  • 1/4 pound turkey
  • 1/4 pound provolone cheese
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Prepare Grinder Salad: In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  2. Add Vegetables: Add the finely shredded iceberg lettuce, thinly sliced red onion, and sliced banana peppers to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
  3. Assemble Sandwiches: Split the sub rolls in half and layer the salami, pepperoni, and turkey evenly among them. Then, top the meats with slices of provolone cheese.
  4. Broil Sandwiches: Place the assembled subs on a baking sheet and broil them in the oven for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the meats are crisped to your liking. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  5. Add Fresh Tomato: Remove the sandwiches from the oven and place the tomato slices evenly on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Top with Grinder Salad and Parmesan: Generously spoon the prepared grinder salad over each sandwich, then sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top.
  7. Serve: Close each sandwich, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture experience.
