Ingredients

Servings

Grinder Salad

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 teaspoon oregano dried
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (more if you like spicy)
  • 1 garlic finely minced or grated, clove
  • 1/4 cup Pepperoncini peppers sliced
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
  • 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 3-4 cups iceberg lettuce

Sandwich

  • 1 Italian bread or focaccia or ciabatta sliced in half, large loaf, crusty
  • 4 ounces Muenster cheese or havarti or Colby Jack, sliced
  • 4 ounces provolone cheese sliced
  • 1/4 pound turkey breast thinly shaved, roasted
  • 1/4 pound ham
  • 3 ounces sopressata salami
  • 3 ounces capocollo (aka gabagool) or genoa salami
  • 3 ounces prosciutto
  • 2 ounces pepperoni deli sliced
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
  • 1 beefsteak tomato medium
  • olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Whisk mayo, vinegar, salt, oregano, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and garlic together in a bowl.
  2. Add sliced pepperoncini, red onion, and lettuce. Toss well with tongs until thoroughly coated. Set aside.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice bread in half. Layer cheese on both sides of the bread and toast until the cheese is bubbly and the bread is toasted (about 3-4 minutes). Pile meat on top of the cheese on both sides of the bread (ham and prosciutto on one side with turkey, soppressata, capocollo and pepperoni on the other) by folding it so it's kind of fluffy and ruffled instead of flat. Then toast again until the meat is warm and bread is toasted (another 3-4 minutes). Sprinkle with fresh parm.
  4. Layer sliced tomato over the meat, then drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Piled the lettuce mixture and additional grated Parmesan cheese on top. Add the top piece of bread, slice in half or fourths and serve!

Notes

  • Inspired by @ohheyimgray on TikTok. From what I can tell this was the genesis of this viral sandwich.
