Club Chicken Pasta Salad<\/h2>\n

This is a family favorite pasta salad! It’s similar to the taste of a club chicken sandwich meets a ranch salad. In other words, it’s completely irresistible!<\/p>\n

It has all the best flavors, including the unmistakable taste of dill, sweet corn, vibrant tomatoes, craveable cheese, meaty bacon, bone-in cooked chicken, and a rich, tangy dressing with the perfect creamy texture. And if you want one more summery mix-in, you can also include a buttery avocado.<\/p>\n

It makes an extra-large batch, which is perfectly fitting for a summer cookout of about 12 people, but the recipe can easily be halved as well for a smaller family lunch or dinner (amounts are included at the bottom of the recipe). We’ve found this makes a great side dish alongside burgers or hot dogs.<\/p>\n

Though you’ll find it also keeps well in the fridge, so you may opt to just make the full batch and have the extra for lunch that’s ready to go the following few days. It’s a great option for meal prep!<\/p>\n

This chicken pasta salad is chilled and refreshing and perfect for a hot summer day. Plus, it’s such a tasty upgrade from traditional pasta salad with the expected mayo, celery, grapes, or apples. The colors are brighter, the produce is more seasonal, and the flavors are even bigger! So much delicious goodness in every serving! <\/p>\n
