Grinder Salad–Stuffed Puff Pastry Braid

1. Slice the braid gently with a serrated knife. Serve warm with extra grinder salad on the side for a refreshing contrast.
2. For a spicy twist, sprinkle with chili flakes or crushed chips before serving.

Tips for Success

• Keep the puff pastry cold while working — this ensures a crisp, flaky texture once baked.
• Use smoked deli meats like turkey, ham, or roast beef for added flavor variety.
• If preparing ahead, assemble the braid and chill for up to 1 hour before baking.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven to restore crispness.
