Jimmy John’s The Turkey Tom Sub In A Tub

A good ole, simple salad makes me happy. Nothing fancy. But I do like to change things up just a little bit so I don’t get bored. I’ve found that the easiest way to keep things interesting is to make versions of my favorite chain sub sandwiches as salads. They sell them in the restaurants, sure. But they’re so easy (and cheaper) to make at home. And well, kind of fun. Today I made Jimmy John’s The Turkey Tom sub in a tub. Nothing fancy going on here, but I enjoyed it and that’s what counts!

A Little Prep Goes A Long Way

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 Jimmy John’s The Turkey Tom 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 cherry or 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.

Jimmy John’s Country Club Sub In A Tub

Sure, I coulda got a sub for lunch. But I wasn’t in the mood for all that bread. Plus I’m all about making my lunch at home. I work here. I’m not going out to grab a sandwich. So I made a Jimmy John’s Country Club 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 Jimmy John’s Country Club sub in a tub that can be found on the store-made sandwich. 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 way to change up my regular salad rotation.
