Italian Sub Salad
This salad has all of the flavours you know from a classic cold cut Italian sub sandwich, but made it into a salad. I love these heartier salads that eat like a meal and I really think you are going to love this one. Loads of veggies, meat, cheese, croutons, pickles, with a lovely zippy dressing. A really fun meal to make to change things up!
What goes into a Classic Italian cold cut sub?
Italian sub sandwich or hoagie is made with salami, prosciutto, mortadella, ham and capicola with provolone cheese on submarine bun. Whether you call it a hero, a sub, a grinder or a sandwich, this one is layered with amazing cured Italian meats and provolone cheese. This salad takes direct inspiration from this classic sandwich, but turns it into a salad!
