    This simple salad is a delicious twist on the favorite club sandwich. Loaded with flavor, protein and fresh veggies, it will be quick to become a favorite!

    This is a picture of a club salad.

    My eyes always gravitate to a classic club on a sandwich menu. In fact, the “Clubbie,” a retired sandwich from Potbelly Sandwich Shop, is an obsession of mine. (*Secret: They’ll still make it for you if you ask.) While I was having my weekly Clubbie yesterday, I had the thought of making it into a salad! WHAM…yummy overload!

    This salad is LOADED with protein with fresh deli ham and turkey, eggs, bacon and cheese. It’s also full of veggie bulk, leaving you satisfied and excited to have your next salad. It’s customizable, so feel free to get creative with it!

    This Club Salad is excellent to make as 1 big salad in a bowl or on a beautiful platter for dinner or for entertaining. It’s also an excellent idea for weekly meal prep! This recipe will make 4 individual salads.

    What You’ll Need

    • Romaine Lettuce
    • Boiled Eggs
    • Colby Jack or Cheddar Cheese
    • Cherry Tomatoes
    • Cucumber
    • Bacon
    • Deli Turkey
    • Deli Ham
    • Carrots
    • Purple Cabbage
    • Dressing
    • Croutons

    Tools You’ll Need

    • Rotary Grater
    • Chef’s Knife
    • Cutting Board

    How to Make This Recipe

    1. Chopping and shredding are the key elements to this salad! Prep all of your ingredients first.
    2. If plating in a serving bowl or on a platter, start with adding an even layer of the lettuce to the bottom. Excluding the dressing and croutons, line all the toppings in rows on top.
    3. When ready to serve, add croutons and desired amount of dressing, and toss until combined.

    Tips and Substitutions

    • You can get creative with this Club Salad! Other additions or substitutions to this salad are (and not limited to):
      • Chicken: grilled, baked, crispy or rotisserie
      • Avocado: adds delicious flavor, color and heart healthy fats
      • Other Veggies: sugar snap peas, blanched green beans, blanched asparagus), bell peppers
      • Toasted Nuts
    • While ranch is my favorite on this salad, so many dressings are delicious on it:
      • Balsamic Vinaigrette
      • Italian Vinaigrette
      • Honey Mustard
      • Spicy Ranch
      • Caesar
    • This salad will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Don’t add the croutons or dressing until ready to serve.

      We have a restaurant here that makes a salad similar to this that is $20 and it’s enough for one person. This was adorable to make and super delicious. So much better than the restaurant and it feed my whole family.

      Wife was wanting a salad for dinner and since I was going to the store grabbed up some of the ingredients I didn’t have and surprised her and she really like it. So much that now I have to make it for her next church social. The presentation really makes to an eye grabber.
