#7 in a Bowl (Mike’s Way) — My Favorite Jersey Mike’s Salad Hack

Okay, confession time: I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve hit up Jersey Mike’s this summer for their #7 in a bowl. It’s my go-to order—Mike’s Way, no oil, extra mayo, and always loaded with those tangy yellow peppers.

So naturally, I had to start making it at home. It’s honestly so easy, so satisfying, and perfect for a quick lunch or dinner when I don’t feel like cooking. Even better? I’ve been meal prepping them in big jars at the beginning of the week so I can just shake, pour, and eat. Mom win.

You can make the classic turkey version or go full Italian deli with ham, pepperoni, and salami for that full sub shop flavor—minus the bread and extra calories.

If you’re doing jars for meal prep, just layer smart: veggies and pickled stuff at the bottom, meat and cheese in the middle, lettuce on top. That way, nothing gets soggy, and you get the perfect bite when you shake it all up.

This bowl hits all the marks—salty, creamy, crunchy, tangy—and it feels indulgent while still being fresh and protein-packed. It’s totally customizable too, so add your favorite toppings, or skip the meat and add chickpeas for a veggie version.

Make it once and you’ll be hooked. Just like I was… every week this summer. No judgment, right?
