Instructions

MAKE THE GRINDER SALAD

  1. 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.
  2. Mix mayonnaise, vinegar, garlic, parsley, mustard, parmesan, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl.
  3. 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

  1. 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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
