The grinder salad sandwich went viral for good reason. A crunchy salad is the perfect complement to salty deli meats and melty cheese. If you've never had it, think of it as a meaty Italian sub combined with tangy, pickle-y antipasti and a creamy slaw. To up the non-starchy veggies and lower the points, we WW-ified it by leaning into the salad part (earn 2 Points!), but all of the elements of the original are still present: garlicky bread, lots of satisfying deli meat, some gooey provolone, sharp but sweet onions, and pickled peppers. Play around and customize it to your heart's content. Try shredded rotisserie chicken instead of the deli meats, add whatever other veggies you have laying around (shredded carrots or thinly sliced celery would be great in this), or swap in cider vinegar for the red wine vinegar.
