Description

A delightful twist on the traditional grinder sandwich, packed with flavor from rotisserie chicken, savory deli meats, and tangy cheeses.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken (shredded)
  • 1/4 lb. salami or soppressata (diced)
  • 1/4 lb. pepperoni (diced)
  • 1/4 cup provolone, thick-sliced (diced)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta
  • 2/3 cup diced grape tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup banana peppers (mild)
  • 1/2 red onion (sliced thin or diced)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 12 tablespoons banana pepper juice from the jar (to taste)
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Freshly cracked pepper, salt to taste (about 1/4 tsp)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl or a liquid measuring cup, combine the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, banana pepper juice, parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth, then taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded rotisserie chicken, diced salami or soppressata, pepperoni, provolone, feta, diced grape tomatoes, banana peppers, and red onion.
  3. Pour most of the prepared dressing over the toppings and toss well to coat evenly. If salad looks too dry, add remaining dressing to achieve desired creaminess.
  4. Transfer the salad into an airtight container to keep it fresh in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Notes

This salad is versatile; feel free to customize it with leftover grilled chicken or your favorite deli meats. Pairs well with fresh veggies, crackers, or as a sandwich filling.
