Sometimes I come home from work and my daughter has made chicken but she hasn’t eaten it all. Yesterday was one of those days. I came home and there were two whole chicken tenders sitting on a plate on the table that she hadn’t touched. This always makes me think “salad”. This may sound really odd, but I’m not much of a chicken nugget/chicken tender eater unless there are vegetables involved, preferably lots of greens and a good dressing. I’m weird, I know.
So I took one of those tenders, rummaged around in the fridge to find some yummies to go with it and made a very satisfying and pretty salad.
