Description

A delicious salad featuring crispy chicken tenders, fresh vegetables, and a tangy dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound breaded chicken tenders (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 head romaine lettuce (chopped; about 68 cups)
  • 1 cup cucumber (chopped)
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • ½ cup sliced red onion
  • 2 avocados (sliced)
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic (finely minced)

Instructions

  1. Bake the chicken strips according to the package directions, about 20 minutes. Once they are cool enough to handle, slice them into bite-sized pieces. If using fresh or leftover chicken tenders, reheat them or enjoy cold.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients until creamy.
  3. In a large bowl, toss to combine the lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and avocado.
  4. Divide the salad between bowls and top with chicken and dressing.

Notes

  • Feel free to add other vegetables according to your preference.
  • Leftover salad can be stored in the refrigerator for a day but may become soggy.
