1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
½ tsp (2 mL) salt
½ tsp (2 mL) garlic powder
¼ tsp (1 mL) black pepper
½ cup (125 mL) all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1 tbsp (15 mL) milk
3 cups (750 mL) cornflake cereal, crushed
Oil for spritzing

2 hearts of romaine, washed and dried
1 medium carrot, grated
2 oz. (60 g) colby jack cheese, grated (½ cup/125 mL)
2 cups (500 mL) seedless red grapes
1 seedless cucumber

¾ cup (175 mL) Greek yogurt
½ cup (125 mL) low-fat buttermilk
¼ cup (60 mL) yellow mustard
¼ cup (60 mL) honey
1 tbsp (15 mL) white wine vinegar
½ tsp (2 mL) salt
¼ tsp (1 mL) paprika

Directions

Add the tenders, oil, salt, garlic powder, and pepper to a small bowl; toss to combine.
Set the Deluxe Air Fryer & Oven to Air Fry for 12 minutes.
Add the flour to one Coating Tray. Whisk the eggs and milk together in a second coating tray. Crush the cornflakes in the Electric Twist & Chop in 2 batches, add them to the third coating tray.
Dip each tender into the flour, then the egg mixture, and then the cornflake mixture, pressing to adhere.
Place the tenders on a greased Air Fryer Rack. When the display says “Add Food,” add the rack to the oven. Press start.
Rotate the rack halfway through cooking. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), pressing the +1 to add more time.
Meanwhile, chop the romaine with a Coated Chef's Knife.
Slice the grapes in half. Cut the cucumber into half-moons with the Quick Slice. Add all the salad ingredients to the bowl and toss to combine.
For the dressing, whisk all ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
Slice the chicken tenders into bite-sized pieces and add to the salad. Drizzle the dressing over the salad to serve.
