Back when I lived in the city, I used to love going to
Applebee’s for lunch. They had a fried chicken salad on the menu that was my
favorite. Now that I no longer live in a city with an Applebee’s restaurant and
no longer work in corporate America, I’ve come up with my own version of that
salad. This is great as a lunch dish or even a main dish salad for dinner. And it's the perfect way to use up any leftovers from my cornflake crusted chicken tenders recipe.
Chicken Tenders Salad
4 cups mixed baby greens
1 tomato, cut into chunks
2 green onions, sliced on the diagonal
2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes
4 hard boiled eggs, peeled and quartered
½ recipe cornflake crusted chicken tenders
Divide all ingredients between two large bowls. Top with
Honey Mustard salad dressing and fresh sourdough croutons and cracked black
pepper, if desired.
Honey Mustard Salad Dressing
¼ cup prepared yellow mustard
¼ cup Dijon mustard
½ cup honey
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 T. olive oil
1 t. finely minced garlic
Combine all ingredients in a jar. Shake well to mix.
Serves 2 as a main dish.
