Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (preferably rotisserie or grilled)

1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup celery, diced

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and buffalo sauce. Stir until the chicken is fully coated. Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce based on your spice preference.

    Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with a pinch of salt and pepper. This will serve as a creamy dressing for your salad.

      Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, layer the chopped romaine, cherry tomatoes, diced celery, red onion, and shredded carrots.

        Add the Chicken: Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture over the top of the salad.

          Finish with Cheese: If using, sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese over the salad for a rich flavor contrast.

            Dress and Toss: Drizzle the Greek yogurt dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until well combined.

              Garnish: Finish the salad with freshly chopped chives or parsley for an added burst of flavor and color.

                Serve: Enjoy immediately for the freshest flavors, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld even more.
