              Notes

              This sandwich is best enjoyed immediately because the iceberg lettuce will eventually lose its crunch once it meets the dressing. However, if you have leftovers, store the chopped grinder salad components separately from the bread and meat if possible. The salad mix will stay fresh in an airtight container for about 24 hours.
