Krystal Chik Club Salad
Ingredients:
6 Krystal Chik Club Sandwiches, without lettuce
One head of Lettuce (or bag of preferred green mix)
Salad Dressing of Choice (we suggest Ranch or Balsamic Vinaigrette)
Directions:
Put your chopped or torn lettuce into a large serving bowl. Cut each Chik Club sandwich into four pieces. This will help separate the chicken, cheese, tomatoes and bacon from the sandwich. Toss all the sandwich ingredients into bowl with lettuce and mix well. Serve with dressing. For larger gatherings, you can always double the recipe.
Krystal Six-Layer Dip
Ingredients:
Sackful of Krystals
1 cup Sour Cream
2 cups shredded cheese
1 can refried beans
1 large tomato, chopped
6 green onions, chopped
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Layer (in order from bottom to top): Refried beans, Krystal Burgers with one placed next to the other leaving no space in between, sour cream, shredded cheese. Pop in oven to warm for approx. 15-20 mins. Top mixture with tomatoes and green onions. Serve immediately.
Hints:
For thicker dip, use an 8″ x 8″ pan. For thinner dip, use 13″ x 9″ dish.
To ease the spreading of beans, spoon beans into a bowl and microwave for a short period of time. Use spatula to spread.
