Hero Sub Salad

It seems that every town has a hero sub shop of one type or another; all serving the ubiquitous hero submarine sandwich with which we are all familiar.  There is a lighter form of the familiar hero sub which you can throw together with just a few key ingredients.  It has all the flavor, all the texture and all the beauty but it is served on a plate or bowl instead of within the center of a an entire baguette.  It’s the hero salad and if you’re a fan of subs, you’re going to love this one.

It seems that no one is certain where or when the term hero became synonymous with submarine sandwich.  It’s believed to have come about in New York, sometime back in the 1930s when the hero sub started becoming popular, particularly in Italian neighborhoods.

The hero sub salad from Platter Tak Food and Recipes makes for a great low-carb alternative to the submarime sandwich.

 

This hero salad is certainly reflective of the Italian-influenced sandwich that is its namesake.  It’s a veritable Italian feast in a bowl.  Chock-full of salami, black olives, Roma tomatoes, and Provolone cheese – all on a bed of crispy romaine lettuce.  Topping it off is a layer of oil and vinegar mixed in with some Italian seasoning.  This all makes for a great meal with all the flavors of a sub, minus the bread and all the carbs.  Enjoy all the tastes of a classic hero sub, with none of the carbs.   -Dan
