GRILLED CHICKEN BUFFALO SALAD

So what are you making for dinner tonight? Need a recipe that’s quick, easy and delicious? What about whipping up a tasty Grilled Chicken Buffalo Salad?

Dinner salads are one of my all time favorite thing because they are super easy and healthy! You can adjust the serving based on the appetite. So my husband and Jeb like lots of meat while Jake and I prefer extra cheese. You simply adjust as needed. You can also add in nuts or extra veggies to punch up the nutrition. The options are endless.

I love the taste of buffalo chicken wings but the calories mean that I don’t get to enjoy them as often as I’d like. This recipe gives me the taste with a fraction of the calories!

You’ll also love that this one is easy on the budget!  We also have a coupon that will help you grab a great deal on the Wish-Bone dressing. Also, be on the lookout for peelies on the bags of Fresh Express when you are shopping and you may find additional savings too!
