We call this “the fancy sandwich,” and it’s one of our favorite summer meals. It’s not a recipe—it’s a vibe. Inspired by the viral Italian grinder but made with whatever we have on hand. Here’s how I make it:
Dressing:
– Big scoop of mayo
– Spoonful of Dijon mustard
– Splash of pickle juice or banana pepper brine
– Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes
Stir until creamy and well seasoned. Taste and adjust.
Slaw:
Toss shredded iceberg lettuce in the dressing. Let it sit for a few minutes if you can.
Assembly:
– Lightly toasted bread
– Deli meat (ham today)
– A slice of cheese
– That dressed-up slaw
– Sliced tomato and pickles
Crunchy, salty, tangy, and somehow always hits the spot.
