Tiktok Grinder Salad Sandwich

How to make the Tiktok Grinder Salad Sandwich! This sandwich recipe is going viral on social media and it truly is the most delicious combination.

THIS is the sandwich I have been waiting for.

I kept seeing it all over TIktok and I had to try it. I was a little hesitant at first but this combination is insane. And of course Jordan loved it too. I turned it into a salad the next day and scooped it with some chips so if you want to try it that way – also highly recommend it!

I cannot wait to hear what you guys think of this recipe!! Don’t forget to tag me on Instagram and Tiktok if you try it.

What ingredients are in the Tiktok Grinder Salad Sandwich:

• Baguette of choice – I found a gluten-free one in the freezer section but you can use anything you want! I bet even fresh sourdough would be delicious for this too.
• Mayonnaise – this serves as the base for the dressing. But if you don’t love mayo, a plain greek yogurt of sorts would work too
• White wine vinegar or red wine vinegar
• Dijon mustard – or even a spicy brown mustard of sorts would work well here
• Garlic clove – I used shallot because it’s all I had on hand but garlic is technically what the recipe calls for
• Iceberg or romaine lettuce –  the crunchiness is what you want here
• Pepperoncinis – we always have these on hand because my husband is obsessed. They’re a crowd favorite here.
• Salami, prosciutto and I used cold cut turkey
• Cheese of choice – I used pepper jack because it’s all I had
• Tomato – seasoned with salt and to make it less watery

How to make the Grinder Sandwich:

1. Add the mayo, vinegar, mustard, garlic, oregano salt and pepper to a small bowl then mix in the lettuce and the pepperoncinis and set aside
2. Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and add the meats to one side and the cheese to the other piece of bread
3. Warm in oven at 350 degrees for 5 minutes
4. Remove from heat and add the lettuce mixture on top of the meat and add the bread with the cheese on top to sandwich
5. Cut and enjoy while fresh out of the oven
