Penn Station Turkey And Provolone Sub In A Tub

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!

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!

Blimpie’s Ham and Swiss Sub In A Tub

Sadly all of the Blimpie restaurants near me closed. I used to love going there for lunch when I worked in an office. The ingredients were always fresh and they had (at the time) the best sub bread. Well now I eat less bread but still enjoy the same sandwich flavors by making my favorites at home. Like this Blimpie’s ham and Swiss sub in a tub. Nothing fancy here, just a good quick salad with plenty of tasty ham and delicious cheese.

It’s Easy. Super Easy.

Making a Blimpie’s ham and Swiss sub in a tub is really easy. That’s part of the allure, I think. 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. When I eats salads out at restaurants I always reach for the pepper.

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