Provided by Jessica Burgess

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 chicken tenderloins
1 tbsp olive oil
8 slices bacon
1 cup cooked and cooled ditalini pasta ((About 1/2 cup uncooked.))
3 heads romaine lettuce
1.5 cups chopped red cabbage (raw)
5 green onions (chopped)
2 roma tomatoes (chopped)
1 cup blue cheese crumbles
honey mustard dressing

Steps:

  • Begin by dicing chicken tenderloins in to small, bite-size peices and saute and cook thouroughly in 1 tbsp of olive oil in a pan. Set aside.
  • Cook bacon according to package directions. (I prefer a softer bacon texture, rather than crunchy for this particular salad.) Set aside.
  • Tear romaine leaves off of the stalks and wash and dry (air or salad spinner).
  • With a knife (my favorite knife) chop lettuce into bitesize peices. (I remove most of the white stalks and disgard, as this tends to add bitter flavors to the salad.)
  • Chop remaining veggies and bacon in to small, bite-size peices.
  • In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and toss with honey mustard dressing, either individually or as a bulk salad! (Just remember, tossing all of your salad with the dressing will make any leftovers soggy!)
