Ingredients
12 frozen chicken nuggets
4 cups mixed salad greens
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup cucumber, diced
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup ranch dressing
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange chicken nuggets on a baking sheet and bake according to package directions until crispy and golden, about 12-15 minutes.
While nuggets cook, combine salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and cheddar cheese in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together ranch dressing and lemon juice until smooth.
Once nuggets are done, let them cool slightly, then cut each nugget in half or into bite-sized pieces.
Add the chicken nugget pieces to the salad, drizzle with dressing, and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately.
Tips
Use homemade chicken nuggets for a healthier option.
Add croutons or bacon bits for extra crunch.
Store leftover salad and dressing separately to prevent sogginess.
