What do we think of the name? Cute? I really like it. I wanted to model this salad after a turkey club sandwich. Working in bar & grills, you learn how to make delicious and mostly unhealthy recipes when you make lunch for yourself. I used to make this incredible salad me and my favorite bartender, Des would eat when we worked together with a bunch of lettuce, tomato, avocado, bacon, and a big dollop of mayo. Season it and it just is so satisfying. That salad is this salad’s younger sister. A club salad with all the fix-ins.

The dressing is the star of the recipe. Mayo makes it, especially when you’re craving something creamy. Most mayo’s have quite a strong taste, but balancing it with some sugar, vinegar and salt will do the trick. To amplify the flavor of the salad we’re also mixing in garlic and bacon fat. More bacon-y flavors.

Let’s talk about the salad. It can be just croutons, bacon, and tomato for a delicious BLT straight-forward vibe or you can fluff it up. As hard as this is to type, salads don’t really need a blueprint. At home, I believe salads should be made up of things you have on hand. The avocados add to the creaminess and the corn adds to the freshness perfect for those hot days when you crave something refreshing.

This salad is absolutely delicious next to a grilled meal without the chicken or a perfect for a weeknight summer get together. Let salads come back to the dinner table. It’s tactical so you have more room for dessert after.
