A tantalizing fusion of spicy and savory flavors that will elevate your salad game. Begin with 3 pounds of cooked and shredded chicken—rotisserie chicken works like a charm, providing a convenient shortcut to flavor.
For the creamy and tangy dressing, mix nonfat Greek yogurt (or a dairy-free alternative) with coconut aminos, creating a luscious base. Infuse bold heat with Frank's Red Hot or your favorite hot sauce, enhancing the dressing with a fiery kick. Season with everything but the bagel seasoning for a delightful blend of garlic, salt, and pepper.
For added texture and freshness, incorporate chopped celery for a satisfying crunch and diced apple to balance the heat with a hint of sweetness.
Experience the dynamic and mouthwatering Buffalo Chicken Salad, where every bite delivers a symphony of flavors that dance on your taste buds. It's a perfect balance of spice and cool creaminess, making it an ideal choice for those who love a little heat in their salads.
