How to Mix Your Own Vinegar & Oil for Sandwiches

Add a touch of zest to your dressing by adding lemon or orange rind.

Submarine sandwiches are fresh ensembles of selected meat, cheese and vegetables topped with a delicious topping. According to Swarthmore College, sandwich-making began in Italian-American communities in the late 19th century. Large, long sandwiches shaped like submarines may also be known as hoagies, heroes or po boys. A popular topping for these sandwiches is a simple, low-carb sauce made from vinegar and oil. Combining these two ingredients with a few fresh herbs will give you a tasty, fresh last-minute dressing for your favorite sandwiches.
