Veggie Delite-style sub

Ingredients

Sub

• 1 footlong nine-grain bread (or wholegrain)
• Shredded iceberg lettuce
• Cucumber, sliced
• Tomato, sliced
• ½ green pepper, sliced
• ½ red onion, thinly sliced
• 4 pickle slices
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
• Salt and pepper

Method

1. Toast (optional). Brush bread with olive oil. Toast cut-side down for 2 minutes if you want it warm.
2. Layer. Pile lettuce, cucumber, tomato, green pepper, red onion, pickles onto the bread.
3. Dress. Mix olive oil + red wine vinegar in a small bowl. Drizzle over the veg.
4. Season. Salt and pepper. Close, slice, serve.

Tips

• The olive oil + red wine vinegar dressing is the secret. Don’t use mayo on this one.
• Cucumber is the unsung hero. Adds crunch and freshness.
• Nine-grain or wholegrain bread holds together better than plain white. Stand up to the dressing.
