Category: Sub In A Tub

It doesn’t take some big fancy fru-fru lunch salad to make me happy. In fact, I’m more than happy making copycats of my favorite sub chain sandwiches as salads. Today I made a Jersey Mike’s ham and provolone sub in a tub. I kept it simple. But that doesn’t mean I skimped on flavor and fun. And I didn’t skimp on the meat and cheese, either. Hey, just because it’s a salad doesn’t mean that I can’t load it up a bit. I don’t want to be hungry 5 minutes after lunch, ya know!

Eating Out Of A Tub Is Fun

I don’t know why I love eating my Jersey Mike’s ham and provolone sub in a tub out of a tub so much. Heck, I was eating at home. I have salad bowls and plates. Too many of them in fact. But there’s something about eating out of a tub. One thing I’ve noticed is that the salad and dressing seem to mix better. Easier. Nothing is flying off my plate as I stir, getting that dressing on every salad ingredient.

Prep Ahead For Easy Salads

I spend a few minutes a few times a week preparing the ingredients I need for my subs in a tub. In one container I place a mix of lettuces, chopped to bite-sized pieces. In another, chopped Roma tomato. Why Roma? I’ve found them to be tastier and easier to chop. And cheaper. I just make sure that they are good and ripe. Last, I have a container for chopped onion. I cut the sandwich meat and cheese when I make the salads, though I could easily prepare them ahead of time too.
