Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, add 8 cups of spring mix as the base.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl. Peel and slice the cucumber into half-moon shapes and add to the salad. Finely slice the red onion and sprinkle over the top.

Topping Preparation

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken Tenders

    Cook the chicken tenders according to package instructions until they are golden and fully cooked. Allow them to cool slightly, then slice them into strips.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, place them on a paper towel to drain excess grease, and then crumble into pieces.

  3. 5

    Add Toppings

    Once the chicken tenders have cooled and the bacon is crumbled, add both on top of the salad base in the bowl. Then, sprinkle 1 cup of colby cheese over the salad.

Dressing the Salad

  1. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle 0.5 cup of honey mustard dressing over the top of the salad. Use tongs to gently toss all ingredients together until well combined.
