Tag: loaded lunch salad

It’s sub in a tub week here and that makes me happy! It’s one of my favorite weeks. Every once in a while I go on a salad-for-lunch (ord dinner) kick. No big ole subs for me. Just nice, fresh loaded salads. Now, this ain’t necessarily one of them fru-fru 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 Black Forest Ham sub in a tub. Heavy on the turkey. Heavy on the provolone. Heavier on the ham. Yeah, there’s tomato. And bell pepper too. It’s a salad! And spinach and cucumber! It’s all good. Oh I forgot! Red onion! Love that crunch! I kust add my favorite dressing the and I’m a happy guy!

A Little Prep Goes A Long Way

To make things go smoothly when I am having sub in a tub week, 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 Black Forest Ham 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. Then, I stem a little spinach, chop it loosely and add that in. I add cherry tomatoes because they hold up well. Add chopped bell pepper, sliced red onion and a few slices of cucumber. I cover the container and put it in the fridge overnight.

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!
