My husband and I are both fans of cold Italian subs with soprassata, pastrami, provolone cheese, lettuce, and tomato with Italian dressing, but these can pack a whopping 1200 calories per sandwich!
We were lamenting a couple of years ago about how much we liked Italian subs, but how we can’t eat them very often due to their high fat content. I offered to make a healthy version with vegetarian “meat,” but my husband instantly turned up his nose. I sensed a challenge…
So, one day I purchased fake pepperoni and salami…
…topped it with Provolone cheese, fresh sliced tomatoes and good lettuce…
…gave it a touch of Newman’s Own Lite Italian dressing…
…and served it with my favorite pickles in the world
He liked it so much, he couldn’t believe that the meat wasn’t real. Because it’s an Italian sub and due to its “hippy” and wholesome ingredients, we dubbed it “Woodstock Tony.” It has now become a summer favorite.
