Buffalo Chicken Salad {Healthy}

Healthy Buffalo Chicken Salad…what?  Think of a chicken salad mix, buffalo style!  Yum!  I enjoy this mixture for a few reasons, the obvious…it’s delicious.  Second, it’s versatile.  Serve it plain, as a slider, a sandwich on whole grain toast with avocado and tomato or even as a lettuce wrap.  Third, it’s so simple to throw together.  I often chop up leftover chicken, add the other ingredients and it’s on the table in just a few minutes.  This recipe hits the spot for me when I am craving chicken wings and of course, due to country living I don’t have access to them.  It’s thick and creamy with your favorite flavors of ranch and buffalo sauce, without all the calories. Score!

Funny story about this recipe.  My husband and I have been married for over seven years.  I have a background in wellness so my husband has gotten use to my healthy recipes and substitutions.  Very rarely can I slip one of these recipes by him.  The first time I made this, he was commenting on how tasty it was and wondered if there was cream cheese in them.  After I informed him they did not contain cream cheese but instead contained a low calorie, protein packed Greek yogurt, he responded “you got me on this recipe”,  Awesome, a healthy recipe, even my suspecting husband couldn’t detect?  That’s a win in my book!
