If you’ve ever been frustrated by the fast-food salad options out there, you’re not alone. But here's a little secret:
Subway is one of the only fast-food chains that actually offers a decent salad—if you know how to play the game right. And with a few tweaks, you can really get the most out of it.
First off, here’s the hack: any 6-inch sub can be swapped for a salad for just 50 cents more. It might sound simple, but this little trick is where the magic starts. Take their “Sub of the Day” deal, for instance. It’s $6.90 for a 6-inch, which means for just $7-8 you’re scoring a salad.
Pro tip: hit them up on Tuesday or Saturday when ham is on the menu—ham tends to work way better in a salad than some of the other sub choices they offer during the week.
But wait, there’s more. To really make this salad pop, don’t just settle for the default pile of lettuce they throw at you. Ask for half the amount of lettuce. Why? Because this gives you the perfect opportunity to load up on the good stuff. More room for those crunchy cucumbers, crisp bell peppers, juicy tomatoes—whatever you’re into. And here's the key: ask for more veggies, but don’t be over-the-top demanding about it. If you're nice, they’ll often give you a little extra without any fuss. You can really pack your salad full of fresh, colorful ingredients this way.
And when it comes to dressing, let me tell you, the Hot Chilli dressing is an absolute game changer. It adds a kick that takes the whole thing to another level. Trust me on this one.
With just a bit of strategy, you can turn Subway's humble salad into something that's actually satisfying, delicious, and a total steal. Go ahead, give it a try—you might never look at fast-food salads the same way again.
