Grinder Salad Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head romaine lettuce (shredded)
  • 1/2 head iceberg lettuce (shredded)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 small red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers
  • 8 slices provolone cheese (thinly sliced)
  • 1/4 pound sliced ham (chopped)
  • 1/4 pound thinly sliced sopprasetta salami (chopped)
  • 1/4 pound thinly sliced genoa salami (chopped)
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup pepperoncini liquid
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 3 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Crushed red pepper and cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Add the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine.
  2. Slice and chop all of the veggies and meat. Add the shredded lettuce to a bowl and top it with the ham, salami, cheese, onion, pepperoncini, and tomatoes. Toss with the dressing and serve right away.
  3. Alternatively, make meal prep mason jar salads by dividing the dressing into individual mason jars. Top with the hearty toppings first including the peppers, tomatoes, and onions, then add the meats and cheese, and finish with the shredded lettuce. Store for up to 5 days then turn it over into a bowl before serving.
