About

Food for thought: is a salad a deconstructed sandwich? And does that depend on whether there are croutons in the salad? We're not sure, but we are sure that Club Sandwich Salad captures the classic craving-satisfying flavor of the namesake sandwich. The homemade croutons bring a toasty crunch of sandwich bread, while a refreshing bed of lettuce holds up savory luncheon meat, crispy bacon, and sharp, creamy cheese. All over everything is a tangy, succulent bacon dressing, just to make sure you don't miss even a little of the beautiful bacon flavor. Join the club by diving into a Club Sandwich Salad!
