Description
A delightful pasta salad that combines the classic flavors of a club sandwich with a creamy dressing and fresh veggies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz rotini pasta
- 1 cup cooked turkey, chopped
- 1 cup cooked ham, chopped
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions and drain. Rinse under cold water to cool it down.
- In a large bowl, mix together your chosen proteins, veggies, and cheese.
- Add the pasta. This is crucial—nobody wants to serve pasta salad with lonely toppings floating around.
- Drizzle your dressing and give everything a good toss, ensuring even coating, not swimming in dressing.
- Taste test and adjust seasoning as needed.
Notes
Allowing the salad to chill for 30 minutes enhances flavor. Add fresh veggies right before serving to prevent sogginess.
