Method
- 1
Start off by cooking the quinoa according to the package instructions. This should be done at least a couple of hours before so you can chill it.
- 2
Slice the radishes and cucumbers. Cut the mozzarella into squares.
- 3
Pound the chicken tenderloins with the palm of your hand a bit.
- 4
Crush up the doritos by putting them on a plate and smashing them with your fists.
- 5
Bread the chicken tenders in flour (seasoned to your liking), beaten eggs, and crushed doritos.
- 6
Fry the tendies in hot oil (preferably deep fry but pan frying works too).
- 7
Drain the tendies on a wire rack and let them cool slightly while you assemble the salad (watch my video to see how I do it)
- 8
The base of the salad is first quinoa, then lettuce, then radishes, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, crutons, and mozzarella.
- 9
Slice the tendies into little strips then put on top of the salad. You can toss the salad beforehand if you want everything more mixed.
- 10
Drizzle the salad dressing all over.

Enjoy the comforting fried chicken with the refreshing salad!
