So when you just don't want to go to the deli, or you're tired of the SOB behind the counter giving you a cockeyed look when you tell him you want extra dressing, it's time to make your own sub!
For mine, I drew my inspiration from a leftover third of an Italian loaf that we used to make garlic bread this weekend. I layered oven baked turkey breast, italian dry salami and prosciutto. I cut up 2 fresh mozzarella bocconcini for my cheese. I used wild arugula which i tossed in a dressing i made.
For the dressing, i used a lemon infused olive oil, an herb blend consisting of dried basil, thyme, rosemary, savory and oregano. I splashed some balsamic vinegar in the mix for consistency. I kept a little extra to brush on the toasted bread. I also threw a tiny bit of chopped garlic and shallot in the arugula and dressing mix for extra flavor. Here's what I got:
And that my friends, is an Italian sub. The way I like it!
Happy Eatin'!
