Jimmy John’s Billy Club Sub In A Tub

I find it hard to beat a quick-and-easy Jimmy John’s Billy Club sub in a tub for lunch. I can make it in minutes. Actually, I can devour it in minutes too! I just love the combination of fresh, crunchy lettuce, tomato, provolone, and of course meats. This salad was topped with roast beef and ham, two of my favorites.

Jimmy John's Billy Club Sub In A Tub

It’s Easy. Super Easy.

Making a Jimmy John’s Billy Club sub in a tub is really easy. 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 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.

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

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 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!

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!

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!

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!

Jersey Mike's Ham And Provolone Sub In A Tub

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.

Subway Cold Cut Combo Sub In A Tub

It goes without saying that I do like a lot of meat on my salads. That’s probably why I eat them as often as I do. And sometimes, I admit, I go a bit far with it. I might have when I made this Subway cold cut combo sub in a tub. But I couldn’t help myself. Ham (a weakness). Salami (my other weakness). Bologna (another weakness). Provolone cheese. Yep, it’s a sub alright. But in a better form!

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.

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

Jersey Mike’s Club Sub In A Tub

Ah, nothing beats a delicious salad for lunch. No big ole sub to weigh me down. Nope, same delicious toppings, all in a tub. With my favorite dressing. And none of the bread. Well, unless I sneak a few croutons in that is. Today’s featured salad was a Jersey Mike’s Club sub in a tub. Same toppings as the sub store classic but made at home. With extra meat. And bacon. And ok, cheese too. Hey, I had it my way! (Yes I stole that from that burger place!)

That way when it comes time to make my lunch, such as this Jersey Mike’s Club 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 bake a package of bacon, drain it, and freeze it. That way I just need to microwave it for 20 minutes and boom, it’s ready for my salad.

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!

Subway Spicy Italian Sub In A Tub

I love having a salad for lunch. Not a boring salad, either. I am hooked on making salad versions of popular chain sandwiches. Like this Subway spicy Italian sub in a tub. Nothing boring about this. A pretty-much-standard but-oh-so-yummy salad is topped with kicked-up sandwich meats. Delicious pepperoni. Peppery salami. And cheese, of course.

Subway Spicy Italian Sub In A Tub

My Salad, My Way

Ok, so I’m always heavy handed with the meat when it comes to topping my Subway spicy Italian sub in a tub. I have salads for lunch more because I enjoy them than because I am looking for a healthy alternative to my usual lunches. If you’re more on the healthy side, be more sparing with the meat and cheese. But don’t leave it out! Then it won’t be a spicy Italian!

Blimpie’s Roast Beef and Provolone Sub In A Tub

I’ve been on a ‘sub in a tub’ journey lately. I just love the ease and flavor from a quick salad that mimics my favorite sandwiches. I can make them the night before in just minutes. They’re great at home, at the office, on a picnic… anywhere! Today I had a Blimpie’s roast beef and provolone sub in a tub. I use a mix of 50/50 iceberg and green leaf lettuce to start with. I add a little chopped onion and tomato. And then comes the sliced roast beef sandwich meat and provolone cheese. Topped with my favorite salad dressing, this is my kind of lunch!

Blimpie’s Turkey and Provolone Sub In A Tub

Before I started making subs in a tub at home salads were pretty much either a huge ordeal as a main course or kind of an afterthought side dish. No more. Now I can have them for a great lunch. With minimal trouble or fuss. Like this Blimpie’s turkey and provolone sub in a tub. A little lettuce. Chopped tomato. Chopped turkey meat and provolone cheese. Lunch. And a great lunch, too.

Blimpie's Turkey and Provolone Sub In A Tub

Easy Prep. Great Results.

I decided to go on a subs-in-a-tub kick for a few weeks. To make them as easy as possible, I prepared as much of the salads ahead of time as I could. That way the day I was going to have them I just had to do a few things before getting to enjoy my lunch. I grabbed a few heads of lettuce (I prefer iceberg and green leaf) and rinsed and dried them well. Then I chopped them into bite-sized pieces, about an inch or so square. Next up, I chopped tomatoes. Roma in my case because I think they last longer.

The Big Day

The day I make my Blimpie’s turkey and provolone sub in a tub is like any other day. Well except I just need to chop up some turkey meat and cheese. And I always salt and pepper my salads. Or at least I add pepper. The salt depends on the meat that I use and how much salt it already has.

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.

Blimpie's Ham and Swiss Sub In A Tub

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!
