I was today years old when i learned that the club in club sandwich stands for chicken and lettuce under bacon. And im a person who has eaten many a club sandwich, but i guess i was too busy enjoying them to stop to think about the name. And they really are easy to enjoy, arent they? Hearty chicken paired with crispy salty bacon, nutty swiss cheese, juicy tomatoes, and fresh lettuce all tucked in between a few layers of toasted bread. Yum. This recipe takes those same ingredients (save for the lettuce) and pairs them with chewy pasta instead of the toasted sourdough for a pasta salad thats a more than welcome addition to any potluck or picnic. (it makes a mighty fine lunch, too. ).
