Healthy Buffalo Chicken Salad uses non fat Greek yogurt in place of mayo.
Not only does this cut calories and fat, it adds protein and vitamins…and thanks to the addition of some dry ranch seasoning you can’t even tell the difference.
Now I did add some shredded cheese, which I know isn’t really considered healthy, but you can either leave it out or only add some if you prefer.
I am using Shredded Chicken for Meal Prep, which I make and keep in the fridge to use throughout the week.
You could certainly use a rotisserie chicken from the store and shred that.
How to Make Healthy Buffalo Chicken Salad
You’ll need four cups of the shredded chicken, half of a red onion, a few celery stalks, some dry ranch seasoning, and two containers of non fat plain Greek yogurt.

This step is optional.
I like to cook the diced red onion for a few minutes in a skillet to get rid of that raw onions taste.
If you like raw onions, just add them right into the salad.

Put the chicken, diced onions, diced celery, yogurt, and dry ranch seasoning in a large bowl.

Now we make it buffalo-y 🙂
Add 1/4 cup buffalo sauce.
I used Franks, but any buffalo sauce that you like will work.

Then a cup of shredded cheese and some blue cheese if you like.
Blue cheese can get overpowering, so I only added a bit.

Now that everything is in the bowl, simply mix it up until evenly combined.

You can store this in the fridge until ready to serve…or serve it right away.

I even drizzled a little more buffalo sauce over mine 🙂

You can add more blue cheese over top of your Healthy Buffalo Chicken Salad too 🙂
Serving options are in lettuce cups or over a bed of lettuce, on crackers, or as a wrap or sandwich.
This makes for the perfect lunch too.
It stays fresh in the fridge for a few days… if it lasts that long.
