Pretty chicken strips top this hearty salad sent in by Clara Coulston of Washington Court House, Ohio. Filled with good-for-you vegetables, it's coated in a tangy balsamic-and-mustard dressing. "As a variation, you can try turkey tenderloins and arugula instead of the chicken and mixed greens," Clara recommends.

Provided by Chelsea Lords

Categories     Main Course     Salad

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups store-bought crispy chicken strips, (sliced (Note 1))
8 cups (~2 hearts) chopped romaine ((chopped into bite-sized pieces))
1 cup cherry tomatoes, (halved)
1 cup Persian or English cucumber, (thinly sliced (Note 2))
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion ((Note 3))
1 large (or 2 medium) ripe avocados, (thinly sliced or chopped)
Optional: 1/3 cup honey-roasted or plain toasted almonds ((Note 4))
2 tablespoons of EACH good-quality BBQ sauce and honey
1/4 cup regular full-fat mayo
1 tablespoon of EACH Dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar
Fine sea salt and freshly cracked pepper

Steps:

  • CHICKEN: Start by preparing chicken tenders according to package directions. Let cool to warm and then thinly slice.
  • SALAD: Chop the romaine, wash, and make sure it is thoroughly dried before adding to a large bowl (dressing won't adhere to wet lettuce). Add halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced cucumbers, sliced red onions, and sliced avocado to the bowl or place on individual plates. Add the sliced chicken on top. Drizzle with the dressing (see next step to prepare), toss to combine, and serve immediately.
  • DRESSING: Whisk the ingredients for the dressing, along with a big pinch of salt and black pepper. Whisk until smooth. If not using immediately, transfer to a mason jar and refrigerate. (Leftovers stay good for 5-7 days).
  • STORAGE: Dressed salad doesn't sit well, so if you want to have leftovers or make ahead, store the dressing separately from the salad.

CRISPY CHICKEN STRIPS WITH SALAD

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup fresh dill, chopped
2 1/2 teaspoons mustard powder
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 cups breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
1 cup finely grated sharp cheddar cheese
2 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into wide strips
1 5-ounce package mesclun greens
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon dill, 2 teaspoons mustard powder, the lemon juice and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Combine the breadcrumbs, cheese, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl. Beat the eggs in another shallow bowl. Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Dip the chicken strips in the beaten egg and then in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing so the coating sticks. Working in batches, add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side, adjusting the heat as needed. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Place the greens in a large bowl and toss with the tomatoes, the remaining dill and 3 tablespoons of the dill-mayonnaise sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the chicken and salad among plates and serve with the remaining sauce for dipping.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and crisp salad greens. A variety of lettuces, spinach, arugula, and kale are all great options.
  • Use a variety of toppings. Chicken strips, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers, and croutons are all popular choices.
  • Make your own dressing. A simple vinaigrette or ranch dressing is easy to make and will taste much better than store-bought dressing.
  • Don't overdress the salad. A little dressing goes a long way. You don't want to weigh down the salad or make it soggy.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Tossed salad is best when it's fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store the dressing and toppings separately and assemble the salad just before serving.

Conclusion:

Tossed salad with chicken strips is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you're looking for a light lunch or a hearty dinner, this salad is sure to please.
