How to make: Italian Grinder Sliders

provolone cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: swiss cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while still providing a melty texture.

salami

🥗Healthier: turkey salami

💰Cheaper: pepperoni

Turkey salami is lower in fat, while pepperoni is often more affordable.

capicola

🥗Healthier: smoked turkey

💰Cheaper: ham

Smoked turkey offers a leaner option, while ham is typically less expensive.

banana peppers

🥗Healthier: sliced cucumbers

💰Cheaper: jalapeños

Sliced cucumbers provide crunch without calories, while jalapeños add heat.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine mayonnaise, olive oil, white wine vinegar, parmesan cheese, romano cheese, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, chopped basil, chopped parsley, dried oregano, onion powder, and dried thyme. Whisk until well blended.

In another bowl, combine sliced beefsteak tomato and sliced sweet onion. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the dressing and gently toss to mix.

In a separate bowl, add shredded iceberg lettuce and 1-2 more tablespoons of the dressing, tossing until coated.

Cut Hawaiian rolls in half and spread a portion of the dressing on the bottom half.

Layer provolone cheese, pepperoni, genoa salami, capocollo, and soppressata on top of the dressing.

Add the dressed tomatoes and onions, followed by the dressed lettuce.

Finish assembling the sliders by placing the top half of the rolls on.

Use a serrated knife to cut the assembled sandwich into individual sliders and serve immediately.
