Ingredients
- 6-8 frozen chicken tenders
- ¾ cup mayo
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 heads romaine lettuce washed and chopped (about 8-10 cups)
- 1 cup purple cabbage thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- ⅔ cup dried chow mein noodles
- ¼ cup slivered almonds
Instructions
- Prepare chicken tenders according to package directions
- While chicken tenders are cooking, make the dressing by stirring together the mayo, honey, dijon mustard, sesame oil, salt, and pepper until well combined; set aside in fridge until ready to use
- In a large salad bowl, mix together the lettuce, cabbage and carrots, then top with chow mein noodles, almonds
- Once chicken tenders are finished cooking, cut into bite sized pieces and add to salad
- Toss with dressing and serve immediately
Notes
- Feel free to sub out the romaine for other lettuce if desired. Crunchier lettuces like iceberg work better than softer greens.
- For extra flavor, you could toss a drained can of mandarin oranges into this salad. The restaurant version includes this.
- Add a little heat to the dressing with a touch of sriracha.
