Notes
You can use homemade chicken tenders instead of store-bought.
You can use iceberg, green leaf, or red leaf lettuce in place of the romaine.
Feel free to mix up the chopped veggies to suit your tastes. I like peppers, carrots, and corn!
You can use store-bought honey mustard dressing instead of making your own.
This salad is also delicious with other store-bought salad dressings like ranch, a vinaigrette, or honey bbq.
Feel free to add croutons or nuts to up the crunch factor!
