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!

What is your favorite type of Italian sandwich?

Preheat oven to 375º. Slice loaf in half&nbsp;lengthwise, then scoop out insides of each half, leaving a well; reserve insides for another use.

Arrange hollowed-out halves on a sheet tray.&nbsp; Top one half with provolone and/or fontina, then&nbsp;the other with layers of ham and cured meat. Bake until cheese is melty and meat has started to blister, 12 to 15 minutes.

While sandwich toasts, in a small bowl, whisk mayonnaise, garlic, vinegar, oregano, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and&nbsp;sugar&nbsp;until thoroughly combined.

In a large bowl, toss lettuce, onion, giardiniera, and banana peppers. Add desired amount of dressing, then toss again until coated and thoroughly combined. (This should be a wet, mayo-y salad, so don’t be stingy on the dressing!)

Top meat half of sandwich with a good dusting of Parmesan and tomatoes. Cover tomatoes with a good amount of grinder salad, then close with cheese half.

Slice sandwich into servings. Serve with any remaining grinder salad and chips alongside.

Grinder Salad Sandwiches

mayo

tbsp red wine vinegar

tsp (each) salt & pepper

tbsp minced garlic

banana peppers (diced + 1 tsp juice)

red onion (thinly sliced)

head iceberg or romaine lettuce (cored & thinly sliced)

Parmesan cheese (optional)

hoagie/sub rolls

meats

cheeses

tomatoes

Add all of the ingredients except banana peppers, onion, and lettuce to large mixing bowl. Whisk together until smooth &amp; creamy.

Add the remaining salad ingredients to the mixing bowl. Stir until evenly combined. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the subs.

To Make The Grinder Salad

Using a serrated bread knife, cut your hoagie rolls evenly in half (lengthwise). Lay them out on a large sheet pan. To the tops of the hoagie buns, layer on your cheeses- we tore our slices in half to ensure better coverage. To the bottom side, arrange/layer on your chosen meats.

Bake the prepared sandwiches at 350° for roughly 5 minutes, just until the cheeses have melted and the meat&#39;s begun to crisp on the edges. Carefully remove the pan from the oven, and let the sandwiches cool.

Top the meat with grinder salad, spreading it out evenly to coat. Add the top half to close the sandwich. Slice in half, and serve immediately.

Repeat until all sandwiches have been served. Serve any additional grinder salad on the side.

To Make The Sandwiches

Next, add the sliced hard salami, pepperoni, and ham wedges to the bowl as well. Then, add the chopped fresh parsley, and grated provolone cheese. Top with the dressing and toss everything together.

That was fantastic!! I just finished it for dinner!! I could eat twice as much since I didn't have all the carbs from bread,  lol! The dressing is really a must for that authentic sub taste!

Just made this salad and had a hard time not eating the whole bowl myself!! So good😊 I made it exactly according to the recipe but did add diced cucumbers.

Love this as a side or a meal. Excellent taste! The second time I made it, I didn't have provolone or parmesan, so I chopped up slices of pepper jack and it was still delish! Love the added spice as well. Def adding to our favorites 😍
