VEGETARIAN SUB
I once brought this veggie sub to a family picnic as an option for a few adults I knew wouldn't necessarily want to eat a stack of cured Italian pork for lunch. The adults were out of luck, though, because almost all the kids opted for the veg version over the meat. Below is what you will need for one twelve-inch sub to feed five people. Double or triple as needed depending on the size of your party. You can use the classic Italian red wine vinegar and oregano dressing for this since you probably already have that on hand - but also keep in mind that a basic vinaigrette works well, too.

Steps:
- Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and on the bottom half, start by layering the avocado then the cheese, slightly overlapping as you go. Lay down the cucumbers in two adjacent rows, overlapping slightly, on top of the cheese. Distribute the tomato halves, overlapping as well, then the lettuce and onion.
- When ready to serve, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, and oregano until emulsified, then drizzle on the top baguette half. Spread the mayo on top of the vinaigrette.
- Close the sandwich with the top baguette half, then stick in 5 toothpicks, one every 2 to 2 1/2 inches along the top. Place on a cutting board and slice into 5 separate sandwiches.
Tips:
- Use high-quality extra-virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
- Choose a vinegar that complements the ingredients in your dish. Some popular options include balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, and apple cider vinegar.
- Add herbs, spices, or citrus zest to the oil and vinegar mixture for extra flavor.
- Use a drizzle of oil and vinegar to finish dishes like salads, grilled vegetables, and roasted potatoes.
- Store the oil and vinegar mixture in a sealed container in a cool, dark place.
Conclusion:
A drizzle of oil and vinegar is a simple but delicious way to add flavor and richness to your dishes. With so many different combinations of oils, vinegars, and herbs, you can easily create a drizzle that is perfect for your taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to elevate your meal, reach for a bottle of oil and vinegar.
