To the dressing, add the shredded iceberg lettuce, sliced banana peppers, and thinly sliced red onion. Toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated.

Slice your bread loaf in half lengthwise and place it on a baking sheet. Spread garlic butter on the inside of both halves.

4

Layer the deli meats onto the bottom half of the bread, starting with turkey, then ham, and finally salami.

5

Top the meats with slices of cheddar cheese and provolone cheese.

6

Toast the sandwich in an oven or toaster oven until the bread is golden and the cheese is fully melted.

7

Remove the sandwich from the oven and pile the grinder salad over the melted cheese and meats.

8

Sprinkle generously with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

9

Arrange the sliced tomatoes over the top and season with a little more salt and pepper.

10

Place the top half of the bread on, slice the sandwich, and serve immediately.
