Buffalo Chicken Salad with Blue Cheese

I’ve been on a chicken salad kick lately! Between my Tzatziki Chicken Salad and this Buffalo Chicken Salad, I’m set for lunches for the foreseeable future. This Buffalo version is perfect for when you’re craving a big pop of flavor. It’s tangy and spicy and is sure to be the star of any sandwich, salad, or wrap you choose to add it to.

The star of this dish is the bold, irresistible dressing—a creamy blend of Greek yogurt, blue cheese, and hot sauce that perfectly coats tender shredded chicken and crisp vegetables. The cooling tang of Greek yogurt balances the kick of hot sauce, while the robust flavor of blue cheese ties it all together for a beautifully balanced bite. Plus, swapping traditional mayo for protein-packed Greek yogurt lightens up the whole dish without compromising on flavor. It’s practically a work of genius! You’ll see.
