Italian Grinder (TikTok Viral Salad Sandwich)

Mayo

tbsp Red Wine Vinegar

Salt

tsp Dried Oregano

tsp Italian Seasoning

tsp Red Pepper Flakes

tsp Garlic Paste (see blog notes)

Pepperoncini Peppers

Parmesan Cheese (see blog notes)

Iceberg Lettuce

Large Loaf Crusty Italian Bread

oz Sliced Colby Jack Cheese

lb Salame

Parmesan Cheese (thinly shaved-see blog notes)

In a large bowl add the salad dressing ingredients. Pour the mayonnaise, garlic paste, seasoning blend, parmesan, pepperoncini and red wine vinegar.

Stir until combined.

Next, pour in the shredded iceberg lettuce and using tongs, toss until the salad is thoroughly coated. Set aside until later use.

Grinder Salad

While the grinder salad marinates, prep the hoagie by preheating your toaster oven, oven or air fryer to 425 degrees.

Slice the hoagie roll through the middle.

Layer the sliced cheese, deli meats and toast for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and bread is toasted.

Take the sliced tomato and add on top of the baked deli meats.

Season tomatoes with a little salt and pepper.

Top the seasoned tomatoes with the grinder salad and additional grated parmesan.

Lastly, fold the top of the bread over the grinder sandwich, &quot;smush&quot; the sandwich (for good measure) and enjoy!

Take with you on a picnic or for a little daytrip. Love a sandwich in the summer.

Picnic Loaf

lb sliced roast beef

mozzarella

basil leaves

lb thinly sliced salami

pepperoncini

oz greens lettuce

lb sliced turkey

red onion, sliced thin

Italian bread

roma tomatoes, quartered

garlic

red wine vinegar

oregano

basil

olive oil

salt and freshly cracked black pepper,

Using an immersion blender, blend together all vinaigrette ingredients until a smooth sauce has formed. Taste for seasoning and reserve.

In a small bowl, toss salad greens in a tablespoon or two of vinaigrette and set aside.

Cut bread in half and scoop out thick bread parts.

Liberally brush vinaigrette on both sides of the bread, evenly spreading the vinaigrette from end to end.

To assemble, use half of each ingredient and layer roast beef, mozzarella, basil leaves, salami, pepperoncini, dressed greens, turkey and red onion. Repeat with other half and close the sandwich.

Using plastic wrap, wrap the sandwich very tight and let rest for 1 to 2 hours, up to overnight for best results.

Combine the butter, parmesan, garlic powder, and salt. Spread over the tops of the slider sandwiches. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.

Once the sandwiches are done, remove the tops, add the grinder salad and put the tops back on. Serve immediately.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this recipe! I changed it a bit for us. I didn’t have any red wine vinegar so I used Italian dressing. Very tasty! And I used provolone and Swiss cheeses. This recipe goes into the line up for our menu!!! Thank you!

These are amazing! I have made an Italian sandwich before and it was nothing like this. Super simple. Super delicious. I had most of the ingredients in the pantry. Thank you!

Wait a minute. These are amazing! I have made an Italian sandwich before and it was nothing like this. Super simple. Super delicious. I had most of the ingredients in the pantry. Thank you!

Absolutely delicious!! Easy to make and your house smells like an Italian restaurant. Full of flavor!

This was a huge hit with my family! We are now using it as a game day staple food! So delish!

This recipe was AMAZING! I added onions as well and the flavor of the dressing with everything was perfect!

Yummmmm!! This was so quick and easy to make! My 8 and 5 year old kiddos loved them too! They don’t like Mayo so I didn’t say anything about what was in it but they both really liked even the lettuce! We’ll make this again! I followed it exactly other than I only had Colby Jack cheese instead of provolone.

These are wonderful! Easy and delicious! A "keeper" as me and my husband refer to new recipes!

These Italian Grinder Sliders are even better than I imagined!! So delicious! My family loved them!

So good. I made the dressing with the iceberg lettuce only without the peppers. My favourite salad at the moment.

Looks amazing! What brand is your vegetarian chicken pattie? I've never seen plant based chicken schnitzel before!

I can't wait to try this sandwich but wanted to inform you that banana peppers and pepporcini peppers are not the same thing.

Really great sandwich! I eyeballed everything to taste and added a pinch of vegan ranch to the mix, it was *chefs kiss*. We used morning star Buffalo patties and added extra pepperoncinos and the spice was perfect! Thanks for the great video and recipe

Viral Tiktok Grinder Salad

This Italian Grinder Chicken Salad combines all the elements you love about a Grinder sandwich and we turn it into a deliciously tangy chicken salad perfect for an easy lunch with crackers or veggies for dipping. Or, serve it up on toasted croissant for an amazing sandwich.

Italian Grinder Chicken Salad

rotisserie chicken (shredded)

pepperoni (diced)

provolone, thick-sliced (diced)

feta

grape tomatoes

banana peppers (mild)

onion

banana pepper juice

salt to taste (about 1/4 tsp)

Start by making the dressing. Combine all the dressing ingredients in a bowl or liquid measuring cup. Taste and adjust if needed**.

In a large bowl combine all of the toppings: rotisserie chicken, diced deli meats*, red onion, tomatoes, banana peppers, and cheeses.

Pour most the dressing over the bowl of toppings, toss well to coat, adding the remaining dressing if needed.

Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Serve with veggies, crackers or tortilla chips or on a sandwich.

If you have dressing leftover, store it in a sealed container in the fridge and add it to the chicken salad the next day if needed to rehydrate it. Some of the dressing gets absorbed as it sits in the fridge.

So good and easy! Prepped this for lunches this week and it turned out great.

This is full of flavors and textures and absolutely delicious. My favorite way to eat this is paired with Flaming Hot Doritos because the tangy chicken salad cools it down.
