Recipe: My Chick-Fil-A Inspired Salad

Here is my version of a Chick-Fil-A-inspired salad you can make at home.  It is perfect for a hot summer day's dinner.

Chick-Fil-A Inspired Salad

romaine lettuce (1 heart per two salads)

cherry tomatoes (6 per salad)

shredded cheddar cheese

diced cucumber

red onion

bacon (1 1/2 slices per salad cooked and crumbled)

avocado (3 slices per salad)

Top each salad with five homemade nuggets.  Easy to make!

Homemade Chicken Nuggets for Salad

Take a chicken breast and cut it in half to make it thinner.  Slice each half chicken breast.  Dip those pieces in Chick-Fil-A sauce!  So easy and so flavorful!  Coat with Italian bread crumbs.  Fry on medium heat in canola oil until breading is crispy and the chicken is cooked inside.  

Lastly, make your own honey mustard dressing to top your salads!  Again, so easy and much better than store-bought.

Homemade Honey Mustard Dressing

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

3-4 tbsp. honey

3-4 tbsp. apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tbsp. lemon juice

1/4-1/2 tsp. sea salt

1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper

Whisk together until creamy.  Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.
