MAKE THE GRINDER SALAD
- Add water, ice, and red onion slices to a bowl. Allow it to soak for at least 20 minutes to make it sweeter and less bitter. Discard the water.
- Mix mayonnaise, vinegar, garlic, parsley, mustard, parmesan, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl.
- Mix the lettuce, red onion, pepperoncini, and dressing in a large bowl. Make any necessary adjustments based on your taste.
PREPARE THE GARLIC AND HERB BUTTER
- Mix the melted butter with the parsley, garlic, parmesan, pepper, and oregano in a small bowl. Keep it aside.
GET THE SANDWICH READY
1. To prepare the oven, preheat it to 350°F.
- Brush the garlic butter over the top of the bread. Place the cheese on the bottom of the bread and put them in a baking tray in the oven for 6-8 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted.
- Assembling: place the deli meats on top of the cheese, followed by tomatoes, avocado, and grinder salad. Add the toasted bread on top, press down, place the sandwich on a cutting board and cut it in half.
Enjoy with friends and family!
