Broil an additional 1 minute or until cheese is melted. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and garlic powder. On the top half of the roll, spread garlic mayonnaise. Working up, place 3 onion rings, 3 tomatoes slices and about ½ ounce (a good sized pinch) of shredded lettuce. Pour about a tablespoon of vinaigrette evenly across top of lettuce.
