Preparing the Sub Roll
First, take your Italian sub roll. Slice it open horizontally. Cut only three sides. Leave one side attached like a hinge. This keeps everything nicely together.

Now, open up that roll. Carefully layer your sliced deli meats inside. Add the provolone cheese right on top of the meats. This creates our savory base.

Crafting the Creamy Tangy Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk your mayonnaise and red wine vinegar. Stir in the dried oregano. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix it all up until it’s smooth and creamy.
Assembling the Grinder Salad Sandwich
In a medium bowl, combine your chopped lettuce, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and pepperoncini. Pour the dressing over the veggies. Toss everything gently to coat. Pile this amazing chopped salad high onto the meats and cheese in your sub roll. Close the sandwich. Give it a gentle press. Enjoy your incredible grinder salad sandwich!
