Penn Station Archives - Dress My Salad

I’m not that fancy or complicated. And usually, neither are my lunches. That’s not to say that I don’t enjoy them, though. I coulda gotten dressed (I work from home) and grabbed a sub for lunch. Or have it delivered I guess. But I wasn’t in the mood and I’m cheap. So I made a Penn Station Ham and Swiss sub in a tub instead! And boy was it a mighty delicious salad! Fresh ingredients, ready in no time. And heck, I even felt better after eating it!

The No Bread Zone.

Everything is here on my Penn Station Ham And Swiss sub in a tub that can be found on the store-made sandwich. And even more, sometimes. I can make this my way. I chop the lettuce and tomatoes the day before. On 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! This isn’t complicated. Just a nice lunch. Oh and I can add bread if I want to…. as croutons!

It’s sub in a tub week here! Woo hoo! It’s one of my favorite weeks, too. Every once in a while I go on a salad-for-lunch 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 Penn Station Turkey and Provolone sub in a tub. Heavy on the turkey. Heavy on the provolone. And yes, even heavy on the tomato. It’s all good. Just add my favorite dressing and I’m a happy guy!

Penn Station Turkey And Provolone Sub In A Tub

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 Penn Station Turkey and Provolone 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 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!
