Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the 4 sub rolls lengthwise, but not all the way through, and open them like a book. Spread 1 tbsp of the 1/4 cup mayonnaise on each cut side.

  2. Step 2

    Layer the 12 oz deli meat evenly among the 4 rolls, folding the slices to fit the bread.

  3. Step 3

    Top the meat with the 2 cups shredded lettuce, 2 sliced tomatoes, 1 shredded carrot, 1/2 cup sliced pickles, and 1 thinly sliced onion, distributing evenly.

  4. Step 4

    Close the sandwiches and press down gently. If you like, toast the assembled subs in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until the bread is golden and crisp.

  5. Step 5

    Cut each sub in half crosswise and serve immediately.
