Fried Chicken Tender Salad

For lunch on Sunday, we had salad topped with fried chicken tenders from Publix. We used chopped green leaf lettuce, a sliced English cucumber, 1 pint sliced grape tomatoes, 1 lb. chopped chicken tenders, Homemade Croutons, and Balsamic Vinaigrette. This is a great option for a busy weeknight!

Homemade Croutons
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. butter
Sourdough bread round, cut into cubes
Salt and pepper to taste

1. Melt oil and butter in a large skillet. Stir in bread cubes, and cook, stirring often, until bread begins to toast. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

What's an English cucumber? Is it those long, skinny, seedless ones? Just wondering! Your blog makes me smile (or maybe it's just you!).

Yes, it's the long, skinny ones that are wrapped in plastic. The peel is thinner on English cucumbers and the seeds aren't as big. I like all cucumbers! Either kind would work.
