Ingredients
For the Salad:
- 1 pound store-bought breaded chicken strips
- 1 head romaine lettuce chopped (about 6-8 cups)
- 1 cup chopped English cucumber

Instructions
- 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.
- In a small bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients until creamy.
- In a large bowl, toss to combine the lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and avocado.
- Divide the salad between bowls and top with chicken and dressing.

Notes
- Storage: Store crispy chicken salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Store components separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- You can use homemade chicken tenders instead of store-bought.
- You can use iceberg, green leaf, or red leaf lettuce in place of the romaine.
- Feel free to mix up the chopped veggies to suit your tastes. I like peppers, carrots, and corn!
- You can use store-bought honey mustard dressing instead of making your own.
- This salad is also delicious with other store-bought salad dressings like ranch, a vinaigrette, or honey bbq.
- Feel free to add croutons or nuts to up the crunch factor!
