Description

This Club Sandwich Pasta Salad is a delightful medley of creamy dressing, crunchy vegetables, and savory meats, creating a refreshing and satisfying dish. Each bite bursts with flavor, from the tangy pickles to the smoky bacon, all enveloped in perfectly cooked pasta that adds a delightful texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Pasta: 8 ounces rotini or fusilli, cooked and drained
  • Meats:
    • 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
    • 1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced
  • Vegetables:
    • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
    • 1 cup cucumber, diced
    • 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • Dressing:
    • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
    • 1/4 cup sour cream
    • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
    • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, crumbled bacon, diced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
  5. Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Before serving, give the salad a good stir and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Notes

  • This salad can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
