In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, 1 clove of minced garlic, and a sweetener to taste. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and a dash of salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Set aside for about 5 minutes.

Slice 4 ounces each of ham, salami, and pepperoni into 1/4-inch pieces. Cube 4 ounces of provolone cheese into bite-sized chunks. Finely shred 4 cups of iceberg lettuce.

In a large mixing bowl, combine lettuce, sliced deli meats, a handful of pepperoncini, quartered red onion, cheese cubes, and halved grape tomatoes. Drizzle the prepared dressing generously over the top. Toss the salad gently with tongs.

Allow the Grinder Salad to rest for a couple of minutes before serving. This dish can be served as a standalone meal or alongside crusty bread.
