Subway Supreme Meats Sub In A Tub

Ah, lunch time! No lunch humdrums here! Before work this morning I prepped my Subway Supreme Meats sub in a tub. In no time I had a delicious dish ready to roll. And no skimping on toppings, either. I can put as much or as a little as I want. Hey, it’s my tub after all!

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 Subway Supreme Meats 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. 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!

I choose my dressing last minute. If I pick it too early I might second guess myself.

Finally, I get to enjoy a wonderfully fresh loaded salad for lunch!

Your favorite salad dressing

Instructions

Place the lettuce into your tub or onto a plate.

Jersey Mike’s Ham And Provolone Sub In A Tub

It doesn’t take some big fancy fru-fru lunch salad to make me happy. In fact, I’m more than happy making copycats of my favorite sub chain sandwiches as salads. Today I made a Jersey Mike’s ham and provolone sub in a tub. I kept it simple. But that doesn’t mean I skimped on flavor and fun. And I didn’t skimp on the meat and cheese, either. Hey, just because it’s a salad doesn’t mean that I can’t load it up a bit. I don’t want to be hungry 5 minutes after lunch, ya know!

Eating Out Of A Tub Is Fun

I don’t know why I love eating my Jersey Mike’s ham 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.
