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.

I love that ink!
Those tomatoes look tempting and tasty. Have to avoid them but this looks yummy and I will be making one sourdough bread. Thanks for the inspiration for a different sandwich.
Rebecca, you can make ANYTHING look sooo yummy! I just love all the content you make! I haven't missed a single video in 2 years! ❤❤❤❤
That tomato needs to be seasoned
Banana peppers instead of pickles. So good!

Looks so good ! I want to try
Are you supposed to use lettuce for the slaw or you used it because that’s all you had?
😋😋😋😋😋😋🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤

This is amazing! And absolutely it is a recipe lol, I never would have thought of making a salad dressing in a mayonnaise jar that way!
Looks so delicious! Thanks for sharing this idea 🙂
Sounds good 👍🏻😊
Is that Lettuce!?
Awesome looks delicious 🥪❤
That looks delicious 😋
I deserve a fancy sandwich and this looks like it's just the right one.
Brilliant!! So doing this… l have beef bologna, salami, and ham in the fridge! Thank you💓
Trust me when I tell you to dice everything, then add your amazing dressing, like to coat it all, go from fancy to supreme. Love your content
It looks delicious!
That slaw dressing you made is the same ingredients I use for my tuna salad. 😊
Don’t forget to look for the Stacker pickles too! One strip works for a regular sandwich, 2 for big subs or burgers! I found those at the Dollar Tree and have been buying them ever since! I’m definitely trying this fancy sandwich recipe too! ☀️💕
I absolutely LOVE using pickle brine to flavor things. I love pickles so it makes sense!
Looks delicious
