A dish that marries the comfort of a classic chicken salad with the bold, zesty flavor of buffalo sauce. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a protein-packed lunch idea.
4 cups mixed salad greens (like romaine, spinach, and arugula)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup carrot, shredded
1/2 cup cucumber, diced
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
1/4 cup buffalo sauce
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
If using grilled buffalo chicken, ensure it is properly cooked and shredded. If not, grill or bake chicken breasts seasoned with salt and pepper, then toss in buffalo sauce until cooked through.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, diced celery, sliced red onion, shredded carrot, and diced cucumber. Toss gently to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Pour the shredded chicken over the salad mixture, drizzle with buffalo sauce, and add the blue cheese crumbles. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. It can also be enjoyed as a buffalo chicken wrap.
