Description

A zesty, no-cook salad blending buffalo sauce, seasoned chicken, and crisp veggies. Ready in 10 minutes, this handheld dish balances heat and creaminess with a satisfying crunch.


Ingredients

Cooked Chicken Breast (6 1/2 oz, cubed)
Red Onion (1/4 cup, diced)
Celery (1/2 stalk, raw)
Carrot (1 baby, shredded)
Mayo (1/4 cup, full-fat)
Frank’s Hot Sauce (1/4 cup)
Lettuce (6 leaves, romaine recommended)


Instructions

Shred chicken: Run coarsely-cubed chicken through a food processor to create a chunky texture
Chop vegetables: Pulse red onion, celery, and carrot in a mini chopper until 1/8″ dice
Blend dressing: Mix mayo and hot sauce in a bowl; add half the chopped veggies and stir until smooth
Combine salad: Toss chicken and remaining veggies into the dressing
Assemble wraps: Place 1/4 cup mixture on lettuce leaves; garnish with onion, celery leaves, and hot sauce

Notes

Use canned/rotisserie chicken for speed
Chill before serving to mellow spice
Add blue cheese (optional) 30 minutes in advance
Avoid over-chopping veggies to maintain texture
