Notes
- Chicken: We love this crispy chicken salad best with the chicken nuggets or tenders from our favorite take-out joints, but you can also use nuggets from the supermarket (heat them up first), or if you have more energy than I do, you can make your own chicken tenders at home with this easy recipe.
- Dressing: We use ranch dressing, but blue cheese is also wonderful.
- Veggies: Feel free to mix and match! The lettuce is essential (you can swap in iceberg lettuce if you like) but then add in any other veggies you love in your salads.
