When satisfied with dressing consistency, transfer dressing to airtight jar. Seal jar and refrigerate dressing at least 1 hour.
Prepare 2 cups chicken nuggets according to package or recipe instructions.
Divide 9 cups mixed greens, 12 cherry tomatoes, ¼ cup fire-roasted corn, and ½ cup shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly between serving bowls. Toss ingredients until blended.
Top each salad with prepared chicken. Serve immediately with chilled dressing.
Recipe Notes
Store-bought Chicken: Just Bare's frozen chicken breast bites taste just like Chick-Fil-A's nuggets in my opinion. Highly recommend! You can use any frozen popcorn chicken, chicken nuggets, or chicken strips you like. Make sure to chop larger pieces into bite-sized bits after cooking.
