Ingredients
Scale
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works beautifully!)
1/2 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
4 cups mixed salad greens (think romaine, spinach, and arugula)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (for added sweetness)
1/2 cup cucumber, diced (for a refreshing crunch)
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced (will bring a little zing)
1/2 cup celery, diced (classic buffalo flavor companion)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (because everything's better with cheese!)
1/4 cup blue cheese (optional, but highly recommended for that tangy flavor)
1 avocado, sliced (for creaminess)
2 tablespoons ranch dressing (or more, depending on your love for ranch)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prep the Chicken: If you’re using rotisserie chicken, simply shred it into bite-sized pieces. If you’re cooking your own chicken, boil or grill it until cooked through, then shred. Add half of the buffalo sauce to the chicken and toss until well-coated.
Get the Greens Ready: In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and celery. Give it a good toss to mix everything up beautifully!
Assemble the Salad: Add the buffalo chicken into the veggie mix. If you love those flavors to mingle, gently toss everything together. You might want to use tongs for this to avoid squishing the tomatoes and avocados.
Add Your Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and blue cheese on top. This is where it gets really indulgent and delicious. Just look at that cheesy goodness!
Dress It Up: Drizzle your ranch dressing over the top and toss lightly. You want it coated, but not drenched—just a compliment to the flavors.
Avocado Time: Gently place the avocado slices on top for that creamy finish. You deserve this heavenly creaminess!
Season & Serve: Give a final sprinkle of salt and pepper. And voilà, your Buffalo Chicken Salad is ready to shine! Serve immediately for the best experience.
