Deli-Style Veggie Subs
Sometimes I just crave a cold deli sub with all of the veggies, condiments and pickles. This sub recipe, hits ALL the spots. It’s super fresh, perfect for a warm spring day or just a quick throw together during lunch.
I love to eat these right after I make them or let them sit for an hour to get them tasting like they came from the deli.
How do I make subs taste like the Deli?
Simple: Use your meat and cheese from the deli! I’m in Florida so I like to get my cheese sliced at Publix. For this recipe I used Muenster and Pepper Jack. I also recommend letting the subs sit for a little bit to let all of the veggies and sauces marinate together. Thats when you get that super juicy bite.
How do I make Veggie Subs?
- Veggies: (Obviously) Some of my favorite options are:
- Lettuce
- Tomatoes
- Red Onion
- Mashed Avocado
- Cucumbers
- Bell Peppers
- Shredded Carrots
- Alfalfa Sprouts
- Condiments: I am a sauce lover, but Mayo is a must have for me. Some yummy options are:
- Mustard (I use the Trader Joe’s Aioli Garlic Mustard Sauce)
- Chipotle Mayo
- Ranch
- Whole Grain Mustard
- Pesto
- Honey Mustard
- Pickles: A MUST for that delicious tang in subs. My favorites:
- Dill Pickles
- Bread and Butter Pickles
- Pickled Jalapeños
- Pickled Red Onion
- Banana Peppers
- Cheese: You can pick literally any sliced cheese!
Tips
- Toast the bread without cutting it so the outside gets crusty, but the inside gets steamed. This also helps your sandwich not get soggy.
- Add extra cheese. Need I say more?
- Season your tomatoes with salt and pepper to bring out the flavors.
