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!

- Your favorite salad dressing
Instructions
