jimmy john's Archives - Life's A Tomato

Sure, me and some co-workers coulda gone out for subs for lunch. But I wasn’t in the mood for all that bread. And I’m cheap. On top of that, I don’t have any co-workers. Well, I do but I work from home. I’m not going out to grab a sandwich. So I made a Jimmy John’s Bootlegger Club sub in a tub instead! And boy was it a mighty delicious salad! I enjoyed the fresh ingredients. And I really enjoyed that it was ready in no time at all. I even felt better after eating it!

The Almost No-Bread Zone

Everything is here on my Jimmy John’s Bootlegger Club sub in a tub that can be found on the store-made sandwich. More or less. I chop the lettuce and tomatoes the day before. On the day I’m going to have this I just cut up some meat and cheese, add a little salt and pepper and I’m ready! Oh yeah and dressing! For the dressing I just grab whatever suits my fancy! This isn’t complicated or fancy. Just a nice way to change up my lunches with something fresh and satisfying.

Sometimes you just need a little reminder to step outside of your box of usual sandwich spreads and use something you might not think of. This copycat of the avocado sandwich spread from Jimmy John’s is essentially guacamole with a few twists thrown in. It’s fantastic on a sandwich and for that matter, equally as great as a dip for tortilla chips. That’s why I doubled the recipe. Sandwiches and chips. Lunch is done.

A Little Heat Never Hurts

Every sandwich needs a little spiciness in my opinion. Which is why I was happy that this copycat Jimmy John’s avocado sandwich spread includes a jalapeno. Now, granted, it’s a small jalapeno so you’re not going to get overwhelming heat. But you don’t want that kick to be front-and-center. Just there, in the back. Noticed but not overwhelming. This spread is excellent on my copycat of Jason’s Deli California Club sandwich.

Nice-n-Creamy

Use your food processor (or blender) to get the spread to the consistency you want. You aren’t making chunky guacamole, so I would say keep going until it’s creamy smooth. It’s up to you. You do want it to be spreadable. Once it’s creamy you can’t go back and un-creamy it, so stop every few seconds or so and test it.

Ingredients

1 small jalapeno pepper seeded, chopped

1 Roma tomato chopped
2 medium avocados peeled, pitted, chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
¾ teaspoon Kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon dry mustard

Instructions

Place avocado into a large bowl. Drizzle with the lime juice and smash with the back of a fork. Transfer to the blender.

Slather on bread for sandwiches. If you do have any extra spread it makes for a great chip dip!
