Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (preferably grilled or rotisserie)

1/2 cup buffalo sauce (your favorite brand)

6 cups mixed greens (romaine, spinach, arugula)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup celery, diced

1/2 cup cucumber, diced

1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (or feta cheese for a milder flavor)

1 avocado, diced

1/4 cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: sliced jalapeños for extra heat

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce until evenly coated. You can adjust the amount of buffalo sauce based on your preferred spice level.

    Assemble the Salad Base: In a large salad bowl or platter, add the mixed greens as the base.

      Add Vegetables: Layer the cherry tomatoes, celery, cucumber, and red onion on top of the mixed greens.

        Top with Chicken: Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture over the salad, spreading it evenly.

          Add Cheese and Avocado: Sprinkle crumbled blue cheese and add diced avocado over the top for creaminess.

            Dressing: Drizzle ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing) over the entire salad.

              Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you like it spicy, add sliced jalapeños on top.

                Serve: Toss the salad gently to mix the ingredients just before serving or leave it layered for a more elegant presentation. Enjoy immediately!
