Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Sub rolls (soft or crusty, as preferred)
- 8 slices Deli meat (e.g., turkey, ham, roast beef, or chicken)
- 4 slices Cheese (e.g., provolone, cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella)
- 2 cups Lettuce (shredded or whole leaves)
- 2 pieces Tomato (sliced)
- 1 piece Cucumber (sliced, optional)
- 0.5 piece Red onion (thinly sliced, optional)
- 0.5 cup Pickles (sliced, optional)
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Mustard (yellow or Dijon)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the sub rolls in half lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through, so the roll opens like a hinge.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of the roll and mustard on the other side.
Layer 2 slices of your preferred deli meat and 1 slice of cheese on the bottom half of each roll.
Top the meat and cheese with a handful of shredded lettuce, a few slices of tomato, and any optional toppings like cucumber, red onion, or pickles.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create a simple sub dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the assembled toppings inside each sub roll.
Close the sandwich gently, pressing down slightly to help everything hold together.
Serve immediately or wrap tightly in parchment paper or foil for an on-the-go meal.
