Firehouse Subs Italian Sub In A Tub

I’m gonna fess up. Just because I’m having a salad for my lunch doesn’t necessarily mean that I’ve taken a healthier route in my eating. I probably should. I do have a thing about sandwich meat on a salad that I can’t seem to control. So when I made this Firehouse Subs Italian sub in a tub I kinda went crazy with it. This is what happens when I make my lunch when I’m hungry instead of in the morning.

All my favorites are in this tub. Salami. Pepperoni. Ham. And of course, provolone. The perfect combination. This is a great way to take an otherwise normal (kinda boring) salad to a better place. A tastier place.

It’s Easy. Super Easy.

Making a Firehouse Subs Italian sub in a tub is really easy. And I so love the end results. I use a combination of iceberg and green leaf lettuces. I chop them into bite-sized pieces but you could tear them instead. All that’s left to do is slice a few sandwich meats and some cheese. A little chopped tomato and onion and I’m ready to eat.

The Finishing Touches

Oops! Not quite ready to eat yet! I always add a bit of salt and pepper. Well, I have an asterisk to that. If the sandwich meats I use are high in sodium, and they often are, I will skip the salt. But I never skip the pepper.

All I need is my favorite dressing and I’m good to go!

Ingredients

2 cups lettuce chopped. I use a mix of green leaf and iceberg

1/2 small tomato chopped
1 tablespoon onion chopped
Kosher salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
Your favorite salad dressing

Instructions

Place the lettuce into your tub or onto a plate.
Layer the sandwich meat slices and roll up like a cigar. Slice with a knife. Add to the lettuce. Note: If your meats are too thick to roll up, just slice them into bite-sized pieces instead.

Slice the cheese and add to the lettuce along with the tomato and onion.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

Subway All-American Club Sub In A Tub

Sure, I coulda got a sub for lunch. But I wasn’t in the mood for all that bread. Plus I’m all about making my lunch at home. I work here. I’m not going out to grab a sandwich. So I made a Subway All-American Club sub in a tub! And boy was it a mighty delicious salad! All my favorite things on a super-easy-to-make lunch-sized salad!

The No-Bread Zone

Everything is here on my Subway All-American club sub in a tub that can be found on the store-made sandwich. I chop the lettuce and tomatoes the day before. And I bake a package of bacon the day ahead, keeping the crispy pieces in the freezer for moments and dishes like this. Twenty seconds in the microwave any they’re nice and toasty yumm!

So the day of lunch I just cut up some meat and cheese, add a little salt and pepper and I’m ready! Oh yeah! Dressing! For the dressing I just grab whatever suits my fancy!
