Buffalo Chicken Salad

[heart_this] · May 21, 2010 · 21 Comments

Buffalo Chicken Salad

Last week I enjoyed the BBQ chicken with blue cheese slaw wraps so much that I just had to get more of those flavours. The flavours in the wraps reminded me of buffalo wings, pub style where the spicy hot wings are served with a blue cheese dip and some sticks of celery and carrots. Although I was not looking for a greasy meal like chicken wings, a buffalo chicken style salad would be a healthier way to get those flavours. The buffalo chicken salad is a lettuce based salad that includes the carrots and celery, a blue cheese dressing and is topped with a grilled chicken breast that is covered in hot sauce. If you have got your blue cheese dressing ready then this salad is as easy as chopping some vegetables and grilling up some chicken. This salad makes for a pretty nice light meal for a warm summer day and it is certainly packed with flavour.

    That looks delicious Kevin. I love blue cheese with anything, particularly Danish blue. I think I'd skip the sauce though and just crumble some straight in there.

    This sounds so wonderful, Kevin. To me, there is nothing like a salad made with super fresh green and vegetables with homemade dressing. Good idea too, as these flavors are so comforting and scrums!

    Great salad! Indeed a healthier way to enjoy the flavors of buffalo wings in a leaner piece of chicken. And I will take some extra blue cheese dressing!
