When I make a italian-stlye sub sandwich I always try to copy the ingredients for subs from other sandwich shops I like (Subway, Quiznos, Various lesser known shops.) But in terms of flavor my sub always comes out a little bland.

I know much of it has to do with the type of bread they use, but right now I just want to know what kind of condiments in terms of oils, dressings, and herbs you guys put on your sandwiches. I always mix in a lot of balsmic vinigar and bread-dipping style olive oil. I've noticed there are very few pre-made oils specifically for sandwiches and I usually have to resort to salad dressings, which still make my sandwich taste like a salad.
If any of you guys can suggest a good oil/vinigar/salad dressing mixture to go with subs I'd greatly appreciate it!

What I do is mix, for each 12"of sub, 1/2 tsp basil, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, pinch of thyme, pinch of celery seed, 1/8 tsp black or white pepper, in 2 tbps extra virgin olive oil and 1 tbsp red wine vinagre. Sometimes I'll put a teaspoon of another vinagre (champagne, sherry, or balsamic) for the red wine to bounce off of. Shake that up good, and apply liberally.

Bear in mind, I am fudging the measurments, since I almost never use measuring spoons or cups (only when brewing, baking, or cooking for someone on a diet.)

A grocery store near here sells a condiment called "Sub Dressing." It comes in a squeeze bottle with a little red cap. You have to use a knife to cut off the top like a tube of caulk. It really make the sandwiches taste authentic.
