Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cup cooked shredded chicken breast
  • 0.5 cup hot sauce (like Frank's RedHot)
  • 0.25 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 0.25 cup buttermilk
  • 3 tbsp light ranch dressing

Preparation Steps

  • In a medium bowl, toss the shredded chicken with hot sauce and warm in a skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and ranch dressing to make the dressing. Set aside.
  • In a large salad bowl, combine romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, celery, bacon, and blue cheese.
  • Top the salad with the buffalo chicken and drizzle with the buttermilk-ranch dressing.
  • Garnish with crushed tortilla chips and extra blue cheese, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a low-dairy version, skip the blue cheese and use a cashew cream dressing. This salad is best enjoyed fresh—do not pre-dress.
