- Vegan cheese (your choice of variety, sliced – we used vegan Smoked Gouda!)
- Ciabatta bread (individual rolls or a large loaf, depending on the serving size)
For the Italian Dressing:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Additional:
- Vegan mayo
Vegetable Toppings:

Instructions
- Prepare the Italian Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Prepare the Ciabatta Bread:
- Cut the ciabatta bread in half horizontally. If using a large loaf, you might want to cut it into smaller sandwich-size portions first.
- Assemble the Sub:
- Spread a generous layer of vegan mayo on the bottom half of the ciabatta bread.
- Layer shredded lettuce over the mayo.
- Arrange the WORTHINGTON® vegan ham, salami, and pepperoni slices over the mayo and lettuce.
- Add vegan cheese slices on top of the WORTHINGTON® deli meats.
- Layer on the sliced tomatoes, red onions, black olives, and banana pepper rings.
- Drizzle the Italian dressing over the toppings.
- Close and Serve:
- Place the top half of the ciabatta bread on and gently press down to compact the ingredients slightly.
- Cut into individual servings if you prepared a large loaf.
Notes
Tips for Preparing for Larger Groups:
- Prep in Advance: Slice all your veggies beforehand and keep them refrigerated along with the WORTHINGTON® Vegan Deli Meats in separate containers. You can also pre-mix the Italian dressing.
- Assembly Line: Set up an assembly line with all ingredients laid out for quick and easy building of the subs. This method is especially helpful if guests want to customize their own subs.
- Serving: If serving at a gathering, consider cutting the subs into smaller, bite-sized portions, making them easier to handle and eat.
- Storage: If not serving immediately, you might want to wait to add the dressing and mayo until right before serving to prevent the bread from getting soggy.
This setup not only facilitates a smoother preparation process but also allows for easy customization, ensuring that all guests can enjoy their subs just the way they like them.
