Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (preferably rotisserie for convenience)

½ cup buffalo sauce (adjust based on spice preference)

4 cups mixed salad greens (spinach, arugula, romaine)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup cucumber, diced

¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

½ cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)

¼ cup ranch dressing (or your favorite dressing)

½ avocado, sliced

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce. Mix until the chicken is thoroughly coated. Set aside.

    In a large salad bowl, layer the mixed greens as the base. This provides a crisp and fresh start to the salad.

      Add the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and sliced red onion on top of the greens.

        Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture over the placed vegetables, allowing the sauce to mingle with the other ingredients.

          If using, sprinkle the blue cheese crumbles over the top for an added layer of flavor.

            Drizzle the ranch dressing evenly across the salad or serve it on the side for dipping.

              Garnish with slices of avocado and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and fresh cilantro if desired.

                Serve immediately and enjoy the zesty, spicy flavors of your Buffalo Chicken Salad Delight!
