This Italian Grinder Salad is inspired by the viral TikTok grinder sandwich. It transforms all the bold flavors of an Italian sub into a delicious low-carb salad. Packed with crunchy lettuce, savory deli meats, provolone, and a creamy, tangy dressing, it's a fresh, colorful side dish that's simply irresistible.
Make The Dressing. Mix the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, sweetener, Italian seasoning, red pepper chili flakes(if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.
Set it aside for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Slice the ham, salami, and pepperoni into 1/4-inch slices and the provolone cheese into small cubes.
Use a mandoline or food processor to shred the iceberg lettuce thinly.
Add the shredded iceberg lettuce and the rest of the ingredients to a large salad bowl, then drizzle the dressing all over the ingredients and mix until well combined.
