That was fantastic!! I just finished it for dinner!! I could eat twice as much since I didn't have all the carbs from bread,  lol! The dressing is really a must for that authentic sub taste!

Just made this salad and had a hard time not eating the whole bowl myself!! So good😊 I made it exactly according to the recipe but did add diced cucumbers.

Love this as a side or a meal. Excellent taste! The second time I made it, I didn't have provolone or parmesan, so I chopped up slices of pepper jack and it was still delish! Love the added spice as well. Def adding to our favorites 😍

Salad

One of our favorite salads! I make a batch for our lunches for the week and we love the tangy, spicy, creamy dressing.

I decided to try this salad tonight and it did not disappoint.

Let me start by saying the salad was delish.
Here is my only complaint, in this (and mostly all of your) recipe, you seem to seriously fudge on the times. I'm sure it seems better to trick the reader into thinking it can be "done" in 15 minutes. But seriously, hit the timer, collect all the ingredients, make the dressing, shred the lettuce and Brussels sprouts, cut all the meat and cheese slices, halve the tomatoes, mix together., hit the timer.... way more than 15 minutes.
Step 2 "In a large mixing bowl, add all of the "prepared" salad ingredients." So "prepping" all the ingredients is not counted in the "prep" time?
I'm sure making everything sound quick and easy "sells" hit and email subscriptions, but when I'm making dinner for my wife and we want to eat at 6, it would help if the recipe I start at five doesn't take until 7 to complete.
PS I was in restaurants for 23 years, so I am good with a knife and cooking, I feel sorry for the novice cook who may be trying your recipes out for the first time.
Feel free to respond back to my email, I curious if you feel my comments were valid or not.

LOVE this recipe.  Next time I will double the amount of cherry tomatoes, as there didn't seem to be enough to go around.  I also cut the salami down to 8 ounces and added 4 ounces of mortadella for a bit more variety.  Very tasty.

This salad was DELICIOUS!  Perfect for keto!!  I am definitely putting that amazing dressing in my salad dressing repertoire!  Like others, I kept the dressing separate from the salad as I am making several meals out of this bowl.  Can't wait to try your other salad! Thank you! ❤️

So easy and delicious!!!  This is going to be my lunch for the next week and I will add the dressing just before eating it.

This recipe is crazy good! What a great idea, a breadless sub! I added some mortadella to the salad, and some minced cherry peppers to the dressing. I also drizzled a thin ribbon of Italian fig balsamic to the salad before dressing it. Also, it helps to pick through the shaved brussel sprouts to take out the hard stem pieces. Fantastic!
