I Know. Typical, salad on Monday.
But this is so not your typical salad.
And it is most definitely not boring.
For starters, the honey mustard pretzel crusted chicken.
It’s the bomb. Who knew coating chicken in honey mustard and then covering them in pretzels would be so good?
To be honest this salad was originally going to involve pecan crusted chicken, but then I realized I had about seven pecans left. Seven pecans just was not gonna cut it.
I was SO frustrated. I never run out of anything. See, my mom and I have this problem. We STOCK up. Nuts, chips, flour (IÂ buy the 50 pound bags from Costco), chocolate chips , peanut butter, basically anything that won’t go bad we have back ups for and then probably some back ups for those back ups. Yes, I am well aware that the whole 2012, Mayan prediction, end of civilization as we know it, already passed (thank goodness), we just like to stock up. Hey we have a big family!.
I promise though, we only stock up on food. I hate clutter and basically anything that has no use to me just taking up space. It bugs me along with white plastic, but that is a whole other story. And really if I told you about that today you really would consider reporting me to an insane asylum.
So the pecans were NOT happening. I was not about to go outside in the blowing snow and freeze my butt off just for pecans. So I switched gears and it was probably the best thing I could have done.
Roasted Honey Mustard pretzels are delicious!
Seriously, I am new to this whole honey mustard concept but am now in love. Whoa!
Basically, this salad is really simple.
Coat the chicken, whisk together the dressing, toss the pretzels with a few tablespoons of the dressing, roast the pretzels to crisp deliciousness, toss together some lettuce, spinach, strawberries (unexpected, but SO good in this) and avocado. Divvy up the greens, top with some sliced chicken, honey roasted pretzels, gorgonzola cheese and a generous drizzle of honey mustard dressing. Done!
Oh, and really guys don’t skip the strawberries. The strawberries with the honey mustard flavors gives the most amazing sweet and tangy combo. Plus, it is totally healthy! It is awesome.

Double pretzels in a salad?! Sign.me.up! Yum!
Thank you and I know! It is a win win! Plus, honey mustard is so good!
wow, this salad is gorgeous! i love the freshness of the strawberries and I love that honey mustard (you have no idea how much i love honey mustard dressing – i drink it, not really, but i would if it weren’t gross to do so haha)
Ha! I am pretty sure I took a couple of rather large spoon fulls of the dressing myself! It is good! Oh, and I think the strawberries are my favorite part! They add something really awesome to the salad!
