Salad Base
- 8 oz. shredded iceberg lettuce
Proteins

Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Divide the shredded iceberg lettuce evenly among four bowls to create the fresh salad base.
- Add the Proteins and Vegetables: Top each bowl with equal portions of ham slices, turkey slices, chopped provolone cheese, tomato slices, red onion slices, and pickle chips, layering the classic sub ingredients on the lettuce.

Notes
- You can substitute iceberg lettuce with romaine or mixed greens for added nutrition.
- For a lower sodium option, use low-sodium deli meats and reduce the salt amount.
- This salad is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; add dressing just before serving to keep the lettuce crisp.
- Feel free to add other sub sandwich staples like banana peppers or black olives for extra flavor.
