Ingredients

Chopped Grinder

  • 1 lbs sliced turkey
  • 1/3 lbs sliced pepperoni
  • 1/3 lbs sliced salami

  • Add the sliced onions, tomatoes, banana peppers, and lettuce onto the same cutting board. Chop until everything is well diced. I like to dice the cherry tomatoes and onion prior to ensure they’re small enough.

  • Pour the chopped vegetables into a large bowl. Toss.
  • Add in the mayo, red wine vinegar, seasoning, and diced avocado. Toss again until everything is well coated.

Notes

For easy chopping, lay all of the salad ingredients on your cutting board, and use a pizza cutter and quickly drive it over all of the ingredients to finely chop everything.
Avocado is not in a traditional grinder sandwich, so feel free to omit. 
This sandwich is best served just after assembly. If you store it, its likely to get soggy.
