Italian Hoagie Salad with Prosciutto
with Creamy Italian Dressing & Croutons
- Wheat
- Milk
- Eggs
It’s always tasty in Philadelphia! Well, it is if you’re eating what they call a hoagie (aka. a sub, a hero, a grinder). But if you’re looking for a lighter salad option, have we got a great lunch idea for you! We take all the fillings—prosciutto, bell pepper, tomato, cucumber—and toss them with crisp lettuce, creamy Italian dressing, a sprinkle of oregano, and crushed croutons on top for crunch. That’s right: Philly is in the house.

Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce.
• Trim and discard root end from lettuce; roughly chop into bite-size pieces. Halve, core, and slice bell pepper into strips. Slice cucumber into ¼-inch-thick rounds.
• In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, Italian dressing, half the oregano, 1 TBSP olive oil, ¼ tsp sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. (For 4 servings, use all the oregano, 2 TBSP olive oil, and ½ tsp sugar.) Add lettuce, bell pepper, cucumber, and tomatoes; toss to coat.
• Tear prosciutto into bite-size pieces. (TIP: Refrigerate prosciutto until ready to use, so it’s easier to tear!) Gently crush croutons in their bag.
• Divide salad between bowls. Top with prosciutto and crushed croutons. Serve.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many enjoyed the fresh, tasty ingredients, though some found it bland and suggested adding cheese or olives for more flavor.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to assemble, perfect for a hot summer day when you don't want to turn on the stove 🍲.
- Suggestions: Consider adding provolone, salami, or hard-boiled eggs to make it more filling and authentic to a classic Italian hoagie.
- Portions: Some found it light for a main dish; try adding extra veggies or protein to make it more substantial.
- Dressing: The creamy Italian dressing was a hit, but a few preferred using regular Italian dressing for a tangier flavor.
Reviews from our home cooks
The dressing would've been fine with just the Italian dressing provided; when I added the mayo then it just tasted like mayo with Italian dressing. Also I get that the idea is to mimic a hoagie or whatnot but even for a "light" salad, just using pepper/tomato/cucumber all the time gets boring. What about adding lima beans, or artichoke hearts or broccolini to make it more interesting? Or some shredded mozzarella or parmesan? I eat a LOT of salads and for this one I had to jazz it up a bit.
This was a tasty salad that was easy to throw together, and I blame myself for not checking the list of ingredients, but when I see "Italian Hoagie" I expect salami, ham, provalone, etc. The fact that it just had the prosciutto was a little disappointing, but it was still a decent meal.
I just discovered that I love prosciutto. It was so fresh and tasty. Definitely needed more cucumbers tho. One tiny cucumber was not enough.
Tasty, easy to put together. Croutons were difficult to crush, I would prefer them already crushed or include a larger amount of whole croutons
Great for lunch. I suggest using a little less oregano because it's a very strong spice and will overtake the dressing if too much is added.
So good, fresh and easy! Perfect for a hot summer night when I don't want to turn on the stove or oven.
OOH this was good. It was very easy to prepare, was very tasty and I will look for it again
Great flavors, I love seeing salads on the menu. More fun salads please!!
Yum, yum, yum!!! The veggies were so crisp and the dressing was delicious. I hate to admit it, but I ate both servings with the calories being low 😉😉
I added more ingredients (hard boiled egg, shredded cheese) to make it more of a meal. Otherwise very good. I would order this at least twice a month if available
