This Chopped Buffalo Chicken Salad recipe was inspired from a buffalo chicken salad that I love at a local restaurant called “Fueled Fresh Kitchen.” It is one of my absolute favorite salads-and completely smitten over it. This salad is packed with fresh chopped vegetables, chopped tender chicken breasts smothered in a tangy buffalo sauce, then topped with blue cheese crumbles, and my skinny ranch dressing! The combination of flavors compliment every bite! Enjoy!
