Buffalo Ranch Chicken Salad

This Buffalo Ranch Chicken Salad was a creation I’ve had in mind for awhile. My husband loves Buffalo anything. I mean anything. We have a few nights a week we call Date Night. It’s when we put the kids to bed and we pig out on our own dinners in peace and quiet. Though I love our family dinners, Momma & Daddy need time too, during the winter I make soups, chili’s and dishes I know my kids won’t touch. This Summer I found that I served us salads at least twice a week, I eventually got sick of the same old greens, cucumbers and tomatoes. Then this Buffalo Ranch Chicken Salad was born. The serving sizes are meant for 2 people so it’s a perfect meal to curl up on the couch and just enjoy a nice light dinner.

I wanted to add some ranch in it to even out the flavors and also for the dressing. Ranch just goes with Buffalo doesn’t it? I think it does, just like carrots and celery goes with buffalo anything right? I love this dressing because it’s made with non-fat green yogurt and it still tastes amazing! If you don’t want to top it off on a salad, that’s OK, throw it on a bun or bread. I made this recipe with the #21DayFix program in mind so I measured everything.
