Subway has a ton of delicious vegan ingredients, so you can customize a salad or sandwich. If you’re getting a sandwich, order the Veggie Delite or Veggie Patty and customize. Not into the whole carb thing? Order the Veggie Delite Salad and customize.

Breads

Pick one of these bread options:

  • Hearty Multigrain
  • Italian (White)

The flatbread and wrap both contain milk.

Veggie Patty

The veggie patty at Subway is vegan and a great source of protein!

Veggies

Customize your entrée with your favorite veggies! Try olive ’em—Subway won’t carrot all. (Yeah, we went there.)

  • Shredded lettuce
  • Tomatoes
  • Green peppers
  • Red onions
  • Cucumbers
  • Spinach
  • Olives
  • Pickles
  • Jalapeños
  • Add guac or avocado (Yes, it costs extra!)

Vegan Sauces and Dressings

Make your sandwich or salad saucy with any of these vegan options:

  • Yellow mustard
  • Deli brown mustard
  • Mustard seed spread
  • Oil
  • Vinegar and Subway vinaigrette
  • Fat-free Italian dressing

Vegan Sides at Subway

Need a side to go with that cruelty-free masterpiece that you just created? Fair warning—these options vary at each location:

  • Apple Sauce
  • Lay’s Classic potato chips
  • Oven Baked Lay’s
  • SunChips Original

Pro tip: Take your Subway game to the next level by adding your own vegan toppings at home like Tofurky vegan deli slices, or Daiya vegan cheese.
