Lightened Up Buffalo Chicken Salad

October 3, 2018 by Angela LeMoine 9 Comments

Where are my buffalo chicken lovers? I’ve got a great one for you without the frying but all the great flavors! This Lightened Up Buffalo Chicken Salad has everything you love about wing night… tender chicken, buffalo sauce, celery and carrots. This is great over lettuce, in a wrap or stuffed into an avocado!

While I  LOVE me a good ole crispy fried wing as much as the next guy I want to be able to enjoy the same flavors with less guilt. This is so simple to make because I use store bought rotisserie chicken breast. I give the chicken {turkey breast works equally well} a rough dice and toss it with celery, carrots, red onion. The buffalo dressing is simply Franks Red Hot, light mayo and garlic powder. SO good!

If you like meal prepping, this one is great!! Its even better the next day as the flavors really absorb into the chicken. Its great simply served over chopped romaine lettuce, you can throw it in a wrap or top an avocado with some. Feel free to add a little bit of bleu cheese or ranch dressing too! This is definitely a new favorite of mine and I have no idea why I  never thought to make it!

OHHHH…. ya know what else would be amazing?!?! Serve at a party with this Lightened Up Buffalo Chicken Salad in celery ribs as a fun hand held snack! How great would that one be for football Sundays!?! A lot less work then chicken wings too! Its funny actually, before baby #2 I wasn’t big on spicy stuff but wow did I develop a real love for anything buffalo sauced while I  was pregnant with him and it has certainly stuck.
