Time 55m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 slices bacon
9 ounces cubed cooked chicken
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
4 radishes, diced
1 ½ cups chopped romaine lettuce
½ cup diced cucumber
1 stalk celery, sliced
2 slices red onion, chopped
¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
3 tablespoons blue cheese salad dressing, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and let cool.
  • Reheat chicken in the bacon fat, seasoning with salt and pepper, until just starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Drain chicken on paper towels and place in a large bowl. Add wing sauce and stir to coat all the pieces. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  • Break bacon into pieces and combine with chicken. Add tomatoes, radishes, lettuce, cucumber, celery, red onion, blue cheese, and dressing. Toss salad and divide between 2 plates.

This salad is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the buffalo sauce and the bacon, and they didn't even notice the celery and red onion.

I love the idea of this salad, but I found the dressing to be a bit too thick. I would recommend thinning it out with a little bit of milk or yogurt.

This salad is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be great for a tailgate party or a game day snack.

I'm not a huge fan of blue cheese, so I omitted it from the recipe. The salad was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with the blue cheese. Next time I'll try it with half the amount of blue cheese to see if I like it better t

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some grilled chicken breasts that I shredded and used in the salad. It was a quick and easy meal that was packed with flavor.
