Deli Sandwich Salad

 Have you ever wondered why it is that sub sandwiches that you get at the deli always taste better than yours? I mean, no matter how hard you try to replicate that sandwich, it’s never quite as good, is it? The reason for that may not be what you’d expect. It has nothing to do with the bread, or your selection of meats and cheeses; it has everything to do with the salad. Salad, you ask. Yes, the salad the tops that sandwich. I don’t know if you have ever deconstructed one of those sandwiches and taken a good look, but it is way more than just lettuce. There is a lot of flavor there, a lot of ingredients, and all that combines to make your sandwich delicious. This deli sandwich salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to three days. Use it on top of any meat or cheese sandwich. I think you will be surprised at the difference that it makes. Vive la différence!
