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!
