A vibrant and flavorful salad featuring tender buffalo chicken and a creamy homemade dressing.
Place the yogurt on a folded paper towel on a plate and refrigerate for 20 minutes to thicken.
This step ensures the yogurt achieves a creamy consistency for the dressing.
Whisk together the buttermilk, thickened yogurt, and mayonnaise until smooth. Add vinegar, sugar, blue cheese, and pepper to taste.
Adjust the seasoning of the dressing to your preference by adding more pepper or a pinch of salt.
Mix the hot sauce and oil in a bowl. Coat the chicken breasts with the mixture.
Let the chicken marinate for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Grill the chicken until fully cooked, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
Arrange the lettuce, celery, carrots, green onions, and tomato on serving plates.
For a more colorful presentation, use a mix of different lettuce varieties.
Top the salad with the grilled chicken and drizzle with the dressing. Serve immediately.
Serve the salad with extra dressing on the side for those who prefer more.
