Viral Grinder Salad Sandwich

Born on the east coast, Karma was familiar with  footlong sandwiches being called subs, hogies, heros or grinders. And in truth, the viral tik tok videos of grinder sandwiches reminded her of the kind of submarines her father would buy on the weekends. The lovely tang of the vinegar and the Italian herbs and crunchy lettuce and onion was what a cold sandwich was all about. But Karma has been unable to do meal prep since close to the start of the year, so she was unable to make it down to the kitchen to help with this viral taste test. However she really wanted to participate on some level and asked if her daughter could bring the ingredients to her room where she was able to do the salad slaw dressing seated up in bed. Certainly unconvential but we all work with what we wake up with every day ♥
