Club Salad

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

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 club 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 easy 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.
