Buffalo Chicken Salad

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
• 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
• 4 cups mixed greens (such as lettuce, spinach, or arugula)
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup cucumber, sliced
• 1/4 cup celery, chopped
• 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup blue cheese or ranch dressing (or your favorite dressing)
• Optional toppings: croutons, chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken: If you don’t already have cooked chicken, you can cook chicken breasts by grilling, baking, or poaching them until fully cooked. Shred or dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
2. Toss with Buffalo Sauce: In a bowl, toss the cooked chicken with the buffalo sauce until evenly coated. Adjust the amount of sauce to your preferred level of spiciness.
3. Assemble the Salad: Arrange the mixed greens on a large serving platter or individual plates. Top with the buffalo chicken.
4. Add Vegetables: Scatter cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, celery, and red onion over the salad.
5. Dress the Salad: Drizzle your choice of dressing (blue cheese or ranch are classic options for buffalo chicken) over the salad.
6. Optional Toppings: Sprinkle croutons or chopped nuts on top for extra texture and flavor.
7. Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy your Buffalo Chicken Salad!
