Ingredients

• Chicken
• 2 cups store-bought crispy chicken strips, sliced (Note 1)
• Salad
• 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)
• Honey BBQ Dressing
• 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 & freshly cracked pepper

Instructions

1. CHICKEN: Start by preparing according to package directions. Let cool to warm and then thinly slice.
2. SALAD: Chop the romaine, wash, and make sure it is thoroughly dried before adding to a bowl (wet lettuce won't allow the dressing to adhere). Add completely dried romaine to a large bowl. Add halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced cucumbers, sliced red onions, and sliced avocado to the bowl OR to individual plates. Add the sliced chicken on top. Drizzle with the dressing (see next step to prepare), toss to combine, and serve immediately!
3. 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 store in the fridge. (Leftovers stay good for 5-7 days).
4. STORAGE: Dressed salad doesn't sit well, if you want to have leftovers or make ahead, store the dressing separately from the salad.
