You can find all these ingredients at Aldi.

What Ingredients do I need for Grinder Salad Sandwich

In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain check here

Mayonnaise - Mayonnaise is the ultimate condiment for just about anything and there are different types of it. Only use the reduced-fat mayonnaise if you’re on a special diet of some sort.

Red Wine Vinegar - If you don’t have red wine vinegar sub white wine vinegar, sherry vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or even lemon juice

Garlic - Chopped fresh garlic can take some time to chop so I often always use the freshly minced garlic that comes already made in a jar.

Red Pepper Flakes - Red pepper flakes are small pieces of dried hot peppers, typically made from cayenne, that are crushed or ground into small flakes.

Banana Peppers are yellow peppers usually found in a jar near the condiments and dressings at the grocery stores. You will have to drain them for the recipe.

Red Onions or shallots - thinly sliced

Thinly Sliced Tomatoes

Cheddar, Provolone, or Swiss Cheese Slices

Good Artisian crusty bread with your type of favorite meats. I used provolone, salami, and prosciutto.
