Crispy Buffalo Chicken Salad

Crispy Buffalo Chicken Salad with Light Greek Yogurt Bleu Cheese Dressing is a fresh and simple dinner salad that is loaded with bold flavors. I think it is safe to say that I am officially obsessed with this salad. I literally made it for FOUR STRAIGHT DAYS! It was one of those weeks, where I came home after work and I just didn’t have the gumption to make anything too complicated for dinner, but still wanted some real food, not something out of a box. Now granted, the chicken strips do come from the freezer, but they are paired with so much fresh goodness, it makes it alright. 😉

I would have continued to make this for more than just four days, but I ran out of my homemade Light Greek Yogurt Bleu Cheese Dressing. This stuff is amazing. You get all the great flavors of bleu cheese in a dressing, but it’s light and fresh, unlike the heavy and fatty versions you find in the store.

I made this salad with crispy chicken strips, because I love the added texture they provide. If you want to lighten this salad up even more though, you could easily use some grilled chicken strips or even some rotisserie chicken for a meal that will be on the table in less than 10 minutes!
