jersey mikes copycat "sub in a tub"
Apparently, the concept of a 'sub in a tub' isn’t as widely known as I imagined. If you are familiar with the chain restaurant "Jersey Mike's,” they are very popular for their authentic-style sub sandwiches but also have an option to skip the bread and get the sub in a “tub” aka bowl. Even though I don’t have anything against bread anymore, the sub in a tub absolutely slaps and has been my go-to lately because it is so good, super filling, and a great high-protein option!
My order is typically a #7. I add bacon, banana peppers, dill pickles, honey mustard, and sometimes mayo. What is your favorite order? Tell me in the comments!
Here is my at-home version. Incredibly easy, quick, and of course minimal effort. Feel free to make this however you like your subs by swapping out different lunch meats, cheeses, and veggies but do not skip the oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and oregano! That is the key to this recipe and what makes it so addicting.

5-8 thin slices of turkey lunchmeat (Mine is Dietz & Watson)
2 slices of bacon, thinly chopped (I like center cut)

3-5 thin slices of red onion
1/2 fresh jalapeño, sliced thin
1/4 cup sliced pickled banana peppers
1-2 tbsp olive oil
1-2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/2-1 tbsp mayo (I’m using the brand “Duke's”)

big pinch of salt & pepper
directions
Lay out slices of turkey lunchmeat flat, layer with cheese and roll.
Slice the roll into thin, bite-size pieces.
Add iceberg lettuce to a bowl and add sliced turkey/cheese rolls on top.
Top with the chopped up bacon, tomato, onion, jalapeno, and banana peppers.
Mix oil, vinegar, mayo, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small container or bowl.
Pour dressing over the salad and serve!
