Jimmy John’s Billy Club Sub In A Tub

I find it hard to beat a quick-and-easy Jimmy John’s Billy Club sub in a tub for lunch. I can make it in minutes. Actually, I can devour it in minutes too! I just love the combination of fresh, crunchy lettuce, tomato, provolone, and of course meats. This salad was topped with roast beef and ham, two of my favorites.

Jimmy John's Billy Club Sub In A Tub

It’s Easy. Super Easy.

Making a Jimmy John’s Billy Club 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 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!

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.

Jersey Mike’s Club Supreme Sub In A Tub

I love having a sub in a tub for lunch. They’re super easy to make. They taste just like their sandwich big brothers, but without the bread. Today I made a Jersey Mike’s Club Supreme sub in a tub. I start with a few handfuls of fresh-chopped lettuce. I like a combination of about half iceberg and half green leaf lettuce. Then I add some sliced sandwich meats. In this case, turkey and roast beef. I then grab a few pieces of cooked bacon out of the freezer, microwave it for about 15 seconds, and chop. Next, a little chopped Swiss, tomato and onion. And I never forget some salt and pepper. No salad is complete without it!

The Perfect Lunch In A Tub

I use whatever dressing I have on hand to top my Jersey Mike’s Club Supreme sub in a tub. I drizzle a bit over the top then stir it up. One nice thing about making these salads in a tub is that I don’t have to worry about getting all of it coated in my dressing. It’s easy to stir inside the tub.

Cleanup is easy too. Just toss the container into the dishwasher!

Prepare Ahead

The day I make these I just grab containers out of the fridge. The lettuce, tomatoes and onions are already chopped for me. Each in its own container. I spend a little time two days a week getting everything together. After that, it’s just pretty much just ‘everyone into the tub’! For the sandwich meats, I like to stack the meats and then roll them up like a cigar. A quick slice and boom! Cool little meat rolls!

I prefer to bake my bacon. I then freeze it. It’s perfect for topping my salads! It’s ready in seconds, just wrap in a paper towel and microwave for 15 seconds.

Jersey Mike’s Club Sub In A Tub

Ah, nothing beats a delicious salad for lunch. No big sub to weigh me down. Nope, same delicious toppings, all in a tub. With my favorite dressing. And none of the bread. Well, unless I sneak a few croutons in that is. Today’s featured salad was a Jersey Mike’s Club sub in a tub. Same toppings as the sub store classic but made at home. With extra meat. And bacon. And ok, cheese too. Hey, I had it my way! (Yes I stole that from that burger place!)

Jersey Mike's Club Sub In A Tub

A Little Prep Goes A Long Way

I usually have ‘salad weeks’. Yep, an entire week of salads. To make things go smoothly, I do as much preparing ahead of time as I can. That way when it comes time to make my lunch, such as this Jersey Mike’s Club 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 bake a package of bacon, drain it, and freeze it. That way I just need to microwave it for 20 minutes and boom, it’s ready for my salad.

Onion is chopped and placed in a resealable container. 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!

Blimpie’s Turkey and Provolone Sub In A Tub

Before I started making subs in a tub at home salads were pretty much either a huge ordeal as a main course or kind of an afterthought side dish. No more. Now I can have them for a great lunch. With minimal trouble or fuss. Like this Blimpie’s turkey and provolone sub in a tub. A little lettuce. Chopped tomato. Chopped turkey meat and provolone cheese. Lunch. And a great lunch, too.

Blimpie's Turkey and Provolone Sub In A Tub

Easy Prep. Great Results.

I decided to go on a subs-in-a-tub kick for a few weeks. To make them as easy as possible, I prepared as much of the salads ahead of time as I could. That way the day I was going to have them I just had to do a few things before getting to enjoy my lunch. I grabbed a few heads of lettuce (I prefer iceberg and green leaf) and rinsed and dried them well. Then I chopped them into bite-sized pieces, about an inch or so square. Next up, I chopped tomatoes. Roma in my case because I think they last longer.

The Big Day

The day I make my Blimpie’s turkey and provolone sub in a tub is like any other day. Well except I just need to chop up some turkey meat and cheese. And I always salt and pepper my salads. Or at least I add pepper. The salt depends on the meat that I use and how much salt it already has.

Blimpie’s Trio Supreme Sub In A Tub

I used to work near a Blimpie’s restaurant. When lunchtime rolled around, my thoughts would always turn to having one of their delicious subs on their even-more-delicious bread. Now I make salad versions of the subs I love at home. Like this Blimpie’s Trio Supreme sub in a tub. All of my favorite Blimpie toppings are here. Turkey and roast beef. A little cheese. Tomato and onion of course. And bacon! Yes! Bacon!

Blimpie’s Roast Beef and Provolone Sub In A Tub

I’ve been on a ‘sub in a tub’ journey lately. I just love the ease and flavor from a quick salad that mimics my favorite sandwiches. I can make them the night before in just minutes. They’re great at home, at the office, on a picnic… anywhere! Today I had a Blimpie’s roast beef and provolone sub in a tub. I use a mix of 50/50 iceberg and green leaf lettuce to start with. I add a little chopped onion and tomato. And then comes the sliced roast beef sandwich meat and provolone cheese. Topped with my favorite salad dressing, this is my kind of lunch!

Blimpie's Roast Beef and Provolone Sub In A Tub

Eating Out Of A Tub Is Fun

I don’t know why I love eating my Blimpie’s roast beef 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.
