Buffalo Chicken Salad

Looks delicious . . . a salad version of Buffalo Chicken Wings.

Ellie’s Real Good Food is one of my new favorite cooking shows.  When I watched the episode that included this buffalo chicken salad, I had to save it so I can make it in the future.

Ingredients

• 4 cups chopped, cooked chicken breast
• ⅓ cup nonfat or low-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 ½ tablespoons mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons cayenne pepper sauce, preferably Frank’s Red Hot
• 6 celery stalks from the tenderer, inner part of the bunch, cut thinly on the bias, with leaves (4 cups)
• 2 large scallions, while and green parts, thinly sliced

For serving:

• 1 head of Romaine lettuce
• 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
• Additional cayenne pepper sauce, to taste

Directions

In a large bowl, combine yogurt, mayonnaise, and hot sauce.

Stir in chicken, celery, and scallions . . . toss to combine. 

Salad may be refrigerated.

Serve over a bed of whole Romaine lettuce leaves, garnished with the blue cheese and additional hot sauce if desired.
