Ingredients

For the Italian grinder salad/slaw:

  • 1/2 head iceberg or romaine lettuce chopped fine or shredded
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise  + more if desired
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar + more if desired
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the Potato Chip Snack Bag:

  • 1 bag potato chips any kind*
  • assortment deli meat: turkey, mortadella, salami, prosciutto chopped or torn
  • provolone cheese** chopped or torn; optional
  • tomatoes chopped
  • pickled red onions see below for recipe link
  • pepperoncinis optional
  •  jalapeños optional
  • olive oil extra virgin

Instructions

For the Italian grinder salad/slaw:

  • Mix together all of the ingredients. Taste and adjust any ingredients as desired. Make the grinder salad as outlined but then change it up according to your taste! Want more vinegar or mayo? Add more. Want more chopped lettuce? Add more. Do what you like!

For the Potato Chip Snack Bag:

  • Open potato chip bag: cut open from the side of the bag (long ways) and then open each end so the bag completely opens and is a flat square. Spread the chips out as your base and start piling on the toppings!
  • Add the Italian grinder salad slaw over the top. Top with the torn deli meats. Add cheese (if using), the tomatoes, pickled red onions and/or pepperoncinis, jalapeños and drizzle lightly with some olive oil. I don't think it's needed but if you want to season more, season with salt and pepper. Serve, share and enjoy!

Notes

*I recommend getting chips with ridges or crinkle cut!!
**or you can use freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
