Ingredients
Dressing
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 ½ tsp dried dill weed
- 1 Tbsp parsley
- 1 ½ tsp dried chives
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ⅛ tsp pepper
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp red wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsp or more milk or buttermilk
Salad
- 20 or so crispy breaded chicken bites
- 2 tsp butter
- 1 cup frozen corn or fresh
- 4 strips bacon
- 6 cups romaine lettuce chopped
- 6 cups baby spinach
- ¾ cup monterey jack cheese shredded
- 4 large eggs boiled and sliced
- 8 oz grape tomatoes
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk all of the dressing ingredients together or mix in a blender bottle. Add more milk if need to reach the desired consistency of the dressing. Place in the refrigerator while you prep the rest of the salad.
- Cook the crispy breaded chicken bites according to package directions. I prefer the oven or air fryer method. Cut into bite sized pieces.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the roasted corn. Heat a skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the butter and corn, cook and stir for 6-7 minutes, or until corn starts to brown. Set aside.
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain and cool. Once cooled, crumble or chop the bacon.
- To assemble salad, divide the lettuce and spinach between 4 plates. Top each with 1/4 of the chicken, roasted corn, shredded cheese, bacon crumbles, sliced boiled egg, and tomatoes.
- Either serve prepared dressing on the side, or drizzle it over each salad. Serves 4.
