Grinder Salad
Servings: 6

Grinder Salad:
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

Creamy Italian Dressing:
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


Add the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine.

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.

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.
