An instagram of a meatball sub with pepperoni gremolata posted by vplex (food52 vvvanessa) inspired this recipe. Just the words "pepperoni gremolata" made me a bit giddy. I had some thinly sliced genoa salami in the fridge, so I decided to construct a gremolata with it. I sautéed it until crisp, then added some minced garlic to the pan. I combined the mixture with chopped parsley and minced green onion, and the result was pretty delicious - fresh, rich, and smoky nicely mingled. I thought it would be great folded into potato salad. I used the Cook's Illustrated method for making French potato salad, then added some Spanish and Italian flavors. Here is the result.
