Making Subway-like salads at home w/ zero work

Making Subway-like salads at home w/ zero work - Person Holding White Iphone 5 C

I often buy salads at Subway because I'm lazy. However, I'm also cheap, and Subway's markup on salads is quite high.

I want to buy items at a supermarket and simply mix them together to make a salad without having to do anything else. Which of these can I get:

  • Pre-chopped cold cuts (has to go beyond sliced, since full slices in a salad don't work well), including pepperoni and salami.

  • Pre-chopped onions and pre-sliced tomatoes (and other similar chopped veggies).

I know I can get bags of lettuce, pickled jalapenos, shredded cheese, black olives, and dressing, so if I can get the above, I'm good to go.

Fast home made salads are possible with a few different but just as tasty ingredients. Some things to try that you can buy pre-prepared

  • You can buy catering bags of ham and salami pre-chopped for pizza making purposes. Freeze in small portion bags suitable for a few days, and take one out of the freezer and put in fridge every few days as required
  • Roasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds (substitute for cold cuts)
  • Anchovies or sardines
  • Sprouts
  • Sun dried tomatoes, some suppliers have pre-chopped (they keep fine in fridge)
  • You can buy pre-sliced onions, but usually only in 5Kg+ catering sized bags, They do freeze OK
  • Many other veges are available pre-chopped and frozen for cooking purposes, many of these will be great in a salad

If you make the salad in the morning to take to work the frozen parts would keep it fresh for a while, so no need to defrost them. Sort of like an internal, edible ice pack :-)
