Buffalo Chicken Burger Salad

August 28, 2014 by Katie Leave a Comment

I’m pretty sure I’ve said this before, but let me repeat myself…

I love buffalo chicken!  (Buffalo anything, really.)

Buffalo wings, though, aren’t always the healthiest choice, so I am always looking for new, waist-friendly ways to get my buffalo fix.  This salad did just that.

The salad itself is loaded with the classic buffalo wing sides: celery, carrots, and blue cheese (the dressing PLUS more crumbles).  I also added some scallions, avocado, and tomato.  You can customize the salad anyway you’d like, though.  That’s the beauty of cooking for yourself!  The salads are topped with a delicious buffalo chicken burger that’s packed with all that great buffalo sauce flavor.  Yum!

You won’t feel guilty having seconds of this meal.  It reminded me of a great burger salad I had at a new burger place by me, The Counter.  (Have you ever been to one?  If not, you should.  The fried pickles and sweet potato fries are both great!)  You may want to make 8 or 12 little sliders instead of just 4 burgers.  You can spread them out on top of the salad.  No matter what size you choose, this meal is delicious!

Start with the salad…

  • Place 1 bag of romaine lettuce in a large bowl.  (I cheated and went with the bagged stuff this time.  By all means, wash and chop your own lettuce if you have the time!)
