Why you'll love it
The Garlic and Herb Sauce from Subway is a customer favourite for its bold garlic flavour tempered by aromatic herbs and a smooth, creamy texture. This versatile sauce adds depth and richness to any sandwich without being overly heavy. It's particularly popular with the Philly Steak and Meatball Marinara subs, where it enhances the savoury meat flavours beautifully. This homemade version captures that perfect balance of garlic intensity and herbal freshness that makes the original so addictive.
About the original
Garlic and Herb Sauce represents Subway's European-inspired offerings, drawing on the popularity of garlic aioli and herb-infused sauces in Mediterranean cuisine. It appeals to customers seeking robust, savoury flavours that enhance rather than mask their sandwich fillings.
This sauce has become particularly popular in Subway locations across Europe and the UK, where garlic-forward condiments are especially appreciated. It demonstrates Subway's ability to adapt its offerings to regional taste preferences while maintaining consistency across its global network of restaurants.

Ingredients
- 200 g Mayonnaise
- 3 clove Fresh garlic cloves — minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley — finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Fresh basil — finely chopped
- 1 tsp Garlic and herb seasoning
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Black pepper
Method
Finely mince the fresh garlic cloves. For a smoother sauce, you can use a garlic press or microplane grater.
In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped basil, and garlic and herb seasoning. Mix thoroughly.
Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk all ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
Taste and adjust seasonings. For more garlic intensity, add an extra clove; for more freshness, increase the herbs. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavours to develop. Keeps for up to 1 week refrigerated.
Tips & Variations
- Fresh herbs make a significant difference in this recipe. If using dried herbs, use one-third the amount.
- For a lighter version, substitute half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- This sauce is fantastic as a dip for breadsticks, a spread for garlic bread, or mixed into pasta.
FAQs
- Can I use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic?
- You can, but fresh garlic provides a much better flavour and aroma. If you must use garlic powder, use about 1 teaspoon, but the sauce won't taste quite as vibrant.
- Why does my sauce taste too strong?
- Raw garlic can be quite pungent. Make sure you're using the amount specified, and remember that the flavour will mellow after refrigeration. If it's still too strong, add a bit more mayonnaise to dilute it.
