Buffalo Chicken Salad

Overview

I mean, if you love buffalo chicken, and you like pasta salads, this is for you.

I used Kens Chef Reserve Ranch + blue cheese salad dressing plus some franks hot sauce, Greek yogurt, and some fresh herbs to make this tangy and flavorful dressing. It’s a great salad to bring for those family gatherings or outdoor barbecues!

Serves 6-8
