Subway Oven-Roasted Turkey Sub In A Tub

It’s sub in a tub week here again! Woo hoo! It’s one of my favorite weeks. Every once in a while I go on a salad-for-lunch kick. Or, for dinner. No big ole subs for me. Just nice, fresh, loaded salads. Now, this ain’t necessarily one of them fancy light, healthy salads. A guy has gotta eat. Work is hard. I work up an appetite. That’s why I go big when I make my Subway Oven-Roasted Turkey sub in a tub. Heavy on the turkey. Heavy on the provolone. It’s all good. Just add my favorite dressing and I’m a happy guy!

Subway Oven-Roasted Turkey Sub In A Tub

A Little Prep Goes A Long Way

I do as much preparing ahead of time as I can. That way when it comes time to make my lunch, such as this Subway Oven-Roasted Turkey sub in a tub, I can have it put together in just minutes. I chop a combination of iceberg and green leaf lettuces and put them in a sealable tub with a paper towel to help keep them fresh. I use Roma tomatoes because they hold up well. So, I chop them too and place them into the fridge.

I could pre-cut my sandwich meats and cheese, but I like doing those the day I am having my salad. Who knows, I might change my mind from the day before about what I want on my salad. So I just wait. It’s not like they take that long to cut!

Copycat Pizza Hut Creamy Italian Salad Dressing

Boy oh boy did this copycat Pizza Hut creamy Italian salad dressing ever bring back memories. I was addicted to this dressing, especially in my college years when you could pick up a personal pan pizza or a hot sub and a side salad for cheap. I’d always ask for extra dressing. I could drink this stuff. I was so happy that this recipe came as close to the original as I’ve found. The right flavor. And the right consistency.

Copycat Pizza Hut Creamy Italian Salad Dressing

Ranch and Xanthan Gum for the Win

There are two keys to making this copycat Pizza Hut cream Italian dressing as close to the original as possible. The first is to use a quality Ranch dressing. One that’s full of flavor. For me, that means Hidden Valley Ranch original. The second is xanthan gum. Found in just about every store-bought food item you can find, it’s a thickener. It’s what gives this dressing that great thickness. A little goes a long ways, so just add the little amount the recipe calls for and let it do its thing.

This dressing is great on a sub sandwich too. Like really great!

Subway Oven-Roasted Turkey And Ham Sub In A Tub

You’re right. It’s not complicated. Simple ingredients. Minimal preparation time. But great, fresh results. Sometimes I get mental block as to what kind of salads I want. What toppings do I want? I found that the easiest way to get around my block is to make subs in a tub. Easy salads made using my favorite sub sandwich toppings. Today I made a Subway oven-roasted turkey and ham sub in a tub. No rocket science involved here. Just a good salad!

A Little Prep Goes A Long Way

I usually have what I call ‘salad weeks’. Yep, a week of salads. I go to the store and load up on fresh ingredients, then prepare them all at once. Or most of them at least. The items that hold up well are prepared ahead of time. Then I can make my Subway oven-roasted turkey and ham sub in a tub, or whatever variation, in no time at all. I just add a few more ingredients, grab my favorite dressing, and it’s time for dinner (or a side!).

Copycat Classic Diner Chef Salad

I wanted a salad that would harken back to earlier times. When I could walk into a diner, order a burger, some fries, and a salad. This copycat classic diner chef salad reminds me of the salads the waitress would grab out of the little fridge on the counter by the pass to the kitchen. They were usually behind glass doors that slid open. Covered in plastic wrap, they were made fresh every morning. And they always hit the spot. Just like this one. And I always got it with Ranch dressing. Even though they had French. Maybe there were other dressing choices but my brain always stopped once it heard ‘Ranch’.

Diners And Salad Bars

Whenever I get lucky enough to find a decent salad bar at a restaurant, which is kinda rare these days, I end up making a copycat classic diner chef salad. Not just because it’s easy. It has all of my favorite things on it. From fresh mushrooms to ham to bacon to green onions. For me, it’s the perfect combination.

There used to be a Ruby Tuesday restaurant by our house that always had the ultimate salad bar. And some of the best Ranch dressing around. I sure miss it. But to make up for it being gone, and there being no good diners near me, I made these at home.

It might seem a bit odd, but I think freshly-shredded cheese is a must on a salad. You want fresh vegetables, why not fresh cheese? That pre-shredded stuff isn’t as creamy. And it’s not as tasty. So I always take the few extra minutes to shred my own.

Creamy Cucumber Salad Dressing

There’s something about fresh cucumber and a salad. Usually that means slices of cucumber on top of fresh greens. This time I decided to have that fresh flavor in my dressing instead, so I made a small batch of creamy cucumber salad dressing. Creamy (but not too thick) and slightly garlicky (I recommend using half the stated amount at first), this dressing has that fresh cucumber flavor without being too … cucumber-y?

Creamy Cucumber Salad Dressing

Better The Next Day

This creamy cucumber salad dressing definitely gets better the next day. It’s one of those dressings that needs that extra time for the flavors to come together. That’s not to say it’s bad when you first make it. Not at all. And truth be told, you could definitely serve it as soon as you make it. But it’s better the next day. So wait. Be patient.

Blue Cheese Salad Dressing

Brother Jimmy’s BBQ: More than 100 Recipes is packed full of great recipes. From BBQ to tailgating to… salad dressing! I picked up a copy because because it just so happened that I was making wings for lunch and I needed something (other than bottled Ranch dressing) for dipping. This blue cheese salad dressing was it. And this will be it from now on, because this is the easiest, best blue cheese dressing you can make. Not only great for wings, it’s great on salads or for dipping veggies. Anything.

Blue Cheese Salad Dressing

Easy. And Great. And Lightly Funky.

It is blue cheese salad dressing so it’s got blue cheese in it! And that of course means blue cheese flavor. And funk. But not too much funk. This is recipe is spot-on perfect in the funkiness category.

There are so many great cookbooks, and so little time. Our local library has online checkout of literally thousands of cookbooks. That’s great and…. sorta not great! Easy access to tons and tons of cookbooks means I read them for hours and hours on end. I end up bookmarking recipe after recipe. And then my stomach starts to growl. So then I end up making recipe after recipe. And the cycle continues! Day after day!

Easy Taco Salad Dressing

I love tacos. I love salad. And I really, really love taco salad! But no plain ole, plain ole dressing will do on my taco salad. Nope. I take a whole 5 minutes (at the most) and make my easy taco salad dressing. It uses ingredients I always have on hand. It’s not fancy but it’s flavorful and has just a slight bit of heat to it. Perfect on a taco salad!

As Spicy As You Need

My easy taco salad dressing isn’t spicy. Or it doesn’t have to be, I should say. It’s all about the taco sauce you use. You need to commit upfront. Hot. Mild. Medium. Pick one. You can’t go wrong no matter where you end up. And if you regret your decision, just add some more Thousand Island and French dressings to tame it back down a bit.

Homestyle Garlic Ranch Salad Dressing

When I first read over the recipe for homestyle garlic ranch salad dressing I thought it all sounded good. Except one thing. Onion? In my ranch dressing? I was hesitant. Was it a typo? Well, I hoped for the best and made it as it was written anyways. And boy, am I ever glad I did. This is easily one of the best dressings I’ve ever had, nevertheless had.

Homestyle Garlic Ranch Salad Dressing

Ranch. Ish.

On the surface this homestyle garlic ranch salad dressing seems like a normal ranch dressing. It has the same consistency. Smells like ranch (yes I smell my dressings). Looks like ranch. But the onion adds a flavor that really makes it different and amazing.

No Rushing.

When I first made this and tasted it I found the onion to be crunchy and almost overpowering. I hoped for the best, putting in the fridge overnight to get happy. And it got happy. And I got happy. The onion softens and flavors the dressing perfectly.

I try to exercise control when I serve dressings for my salads. I use these little dipping cups to help stop me from just pouring it on. Well you can tell from my picture that it would’ve been impossible to put any more in my cup. I wanted more, that’s for sure.

Creamy Pineapple Vinaigrette

This creamy pineapple vinaigrette was a bit of a departure from my recent Ranch binge. It’s a bit tropical. A bit sweet. Thinner than Ranch, it’s a wonderful change that really kicked my evening salad up a lot. I’m a huge fan of coconut, and this dressing has just enough so that I taste it (and even get a bit of the aroma from it).

Creamy Pineapple Vinaigrette

More Pineapple, Please

I added a bit more pineapple than the recipe for this creamy pineapple vinaigrette called for. You might want to too, especially if you want a bit more of that tropical sweetness. If you end up with any leftover pineapple, just toss it onto your salad.

Don’t use sweetened coconut milk. Instead, use the unsweetened version and add honey to sweeten it to taste. The pre-sweetened milk is just way too sweet for a vinaigrette in my opinion!

Brother Jimmy’s Buttermilk Ranch Salad Dressing

I have tremendous self-control around delicious Ranch dressings. Ok, no I don’t. Not even close to it. And Brother Jimmy’s buttermilk Ranch salad dressing is absolutely no help at all either. This is one crazy-good dressing. It doesn’t have a lot of ingredients but yet it comes out fantastically Ranch-y. Perfectly creamy.

The Theory Behind Dressing Cups

I thought I was being smart when I bought these little cups for serving great dressings like Brother Jimmy’s buttermilk Ranch salad dressing. I figured, “Ha!” I’ll just put a single serving amount on the plate and hide the rest in the fridge. That way I won’t use an embarrassingly huge amount of dressing on my salads. Problem? Solved.

Nope.

First, I fill them up all the way to the top. Second, well, more than one cup comes in the box when it arrives. That’s not helpful. And third, well, the fridge isn’t that far away.

I tried. But this dressing is so good it does not help with self-control. Sorry.
