Instructions

  • Chicken: Cook chicken strips according to package directions (or make homemade). Let cool slightly, then dice.
  • Dressing: Whisk together all dressing ingredients with a generous pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. If not using right away, store in a jar in the fridge for up to 5¨C7 days.
  • Wash and thoroughly dry the lettuce (wet lettuce won¡¯t hold dressing well). Add to a large bowl or divide between plates. Top with tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, avocado, and sliced chicken.
  • Drizzle salad with dressing, toss to combine, and serve immediately. Only dress what you¡¯ll eat right away¡ªdressed salad doesn¡¯t store well.

Notes

Note 1:?I like Tyson? Crispy Chicken Strips; they cook in about 18 mins in the oven or 15 mins in the Air Fryer. Any crispy tenders work¡ªstore-bought or homemade.?
Note 2:?If your cucumber is extra wide, slice into half moons for better texture.
Note 3: To reduce the bite of red onion, soak slices in cold water for 10 minutes, stirring once or twice, then drain before using.
Storage: Dressed salad doesn¡¯t sit well. Store salad and dressing separately if making ahead. Only dress right before eating.
