Notes

Recipe Updated:

This recipe was recently updated. The previous recipe is the same as above, but instead of 1/2 cup buffalo sauce, I used to only use 2 tbsp of sauce. That is the only change to the recipe.

Expert Tips

- If you’re Whole30, use a compliant mayonnaise such as Primal Kitchen and Stonewall Kitchen or try my homemade mayo recipe.

- If you’re not Whole30, you can add in blue cheese crumbles or shredded cheddar cheese for extra creaminess.

- I used Frank’s Red Hot, but feel free to use your favorite Buffalo sauce.

Serving & Storage Tips

To serve:

- Add atop a bed of fresh lettuce with crunchy veggies like bell peppers, green onions, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and more!

- Stuff the chicken salad into half of an avocado or over a sweet potato

- Make a chicken salad wrap with tortillas or lettuce wraps or serve as a Buffalo chicken salad sandwich!

- Serve with crackers and fresh vegetables like carrot sticks, celery, and cucumbers.

To store, place your leftover chicken salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
