Ingredients
Scale
For the Salad Bowl
- 2 cups cooked crispy chicken breast, sliced
- 3 cups frozen French fries
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup cucumber slices
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
For the Dressing
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For Garnish
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the Fries: Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the frozen French fries package. Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until they are golden and crispy, about 20 minutes.
- Make the Dressing: While the fries are baking, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and well blended to create a flavorful, creamy dressing.
- Assemble the Salad Base: In a large serving bowl, place the shredded lettuce evenly at the bottom as the salad’s fresh, crunchy base.
- Add Fries and Toppings: Once the fries are ready, layer them generously over the lettuce. Arrange the sliced crispy chicken breast, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and thinly sliced red onion evenly on top of the fries.
- Add Cheese and Dressing: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the bowl. Drizzle the creamy dressing generously over the entire salad to tie all the flavors together.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing the loaded salad with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately to enjoy the crispiness of the fries mixed with fresh vegetables and creamy dressing.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, bake the fries on a wire rack placed on the baking sheet to allow air to circulate around them.
- Feel free to swap cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack or mozzarella for a different flavor.
- This salad is best served immediately to keep the fries crispy; otherwise, they may become soggy.
- You can add jalapeños or hot sauce to the dressing for a spicy kick.
- Leftover salad can be stored without the fries and dressing and assembled fresh before eating.
