Just because you’re busy doesn’t mean you can have a big, delicious, hearty and healthy salad!

This Buffalo Chicken Salad is amazing because it’s got tons of flavor plus plenty of fresh and crispy veggies you can prep ahead of time.

This salad is perfect for lunch or dinner and can be made ahead of time to take to work or feed the family a quick meal.

Ingredient Notes:

Make up a batch of my super easy Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken
Chop up your favorite lettuce – I like a mixture of romaine and red leaf
Add your choice of toppings – I like carrots, celery, corn and cucumber for tons of crunch
Sprinkle with blue cheese
Dress with ranch dressing, or blue cheese dressing if you prefer. My favorite brand to use is Litehouse which you can find in the produce section fridge.

How to Prep a Buffalo Chicken Salad:

I prefer chopping up the veggies ahead of time and storing in my produce saver containers.

Grab a big bowl and start by layering up a few handfuls or cups of lettuce and then toppings.

Top it all off with a drizzle of dressing (or pack the dressing separately if making ahead).

Recipe Notes:

If prepping ahead, store veggies in separate containers for best results
You can assemble the salad the morning before and take along
Don’t add dressing until ready to serve
