Chicken Tender Salad
gluten free / dairy free
The best chicken tender salad you’re ever going to have! It’s loaded with flavor and Whole 30 approved!
Is anyone else just a sucker for chicken tenders? They’re probably one of my top five favorite foods and I’m so freaking happy I don’t have to give them up during Whole 30! I used a combination of almond flour and coconut flour for the breading on these and then loaded the salad up with delicious veggies like carrots, cauliflower, marinated red onions, pickled jalapenos, radishes, and sunflower seeds. I used a dairy-free ceasar dressing on top of this salad and it was BOMB! I got this one!
