For the grinder salad:

cup
mayonnaise
2
Tablespoons
red wine vinegar
2
cloves
garlic,
minced
½
teaspoon
fresh cracked black pepper
½
teaspoon
dried oregano
½
teaspoon
red chili flakes
¼
teaspoon
kosher salt
¼
cup
sliced pepperoncini peppers
¼
red onion,

1
head
iceberg lettuce,
shredded
For the sandwich:
16
ounce
Italian loaf of bread
½
pound
thinly sliced provolone cheese
½
pound
thinly sliced ham
¼
pound
thinly sliced Sopprasetta salami
¼
pound
thinly sliced Genoa salami
6
thinly sliced deli-sized pepperoni
To assemble the sandwich:
2
ounces
freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1
large
beef steak tomato,
sliced
Instructions
Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, garlic, pepper, oregano, chili flakes, and salt until combined.
Add the sliced pepperoncini and sliced red onion and stir around in the dressing until coated.
Add the lettuce, and using tongs or a fork, toss it in the dressing to coat, set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Cut the bread in half and place it on a baking sheet (cut side up). Remove most of the inside of the bread leaving about ½ inch of the bread.
Add half of the provolone cheese to each side. Place in the oven until melted (about 4 or 5 minutes).
Layer the ham slices on one half of the sub and layer the soppressata on the other half.
Top the ham with the salami slices. Then top the soppressata with the pepperoni.
Place back in the oven to warm up the meats and to toast the bread (about 5 minutes).
Remove from the oven then sprinkle the tops of the meat with ¼ of the Parmesan cheese.
Add tomato slices then drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil and add salt and pepper (to taste).
Next, we're gonna add some of that beautiful grinder salad we made earlier. Top with the remaining parmesan cheese.
Add the top half of the sandwich over the bottom half (pressing it down gently).
Cut into slices and serve!
Notes
Make this sandwich your way. Use whatever meats and cheese you like. Use more or use less depending on your preference.
I used a sesame coated Italian bread here but you can use any of your favorite bread for subs.
