Blue Cheese Dressing

  • ¼ Cup Mayonnaise
  • ¼ Cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1 Tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoon Blue Cheese , crumbled
  • 2 tablespoon Fresh Dill , finely chopped

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 head Romaine Lettuce , shredded
  • ¼ Red Onion , thinly sliced
  • 1 Cup Cherry Tomatoes , halved
  • 1 Cup Cucumber , sliced or cubed

Instructions
 

  • Blue Cheese Dressing: Combine the mayo, yogurt, mustard, salt, blue cheese and dill in a bowl. Break down the blue cheese with the end of the whisk and then whisk the dressing until smooth.
  • For the salad bed, divide the shredded romaine and prepared vegetables between 2 serving plates. If serving this as a side, you may divide the lettuce and veggies into 4 side plates.
  • To make the buffalo chicken, start by shredding the chicken breasts or slicing them into half inch slices.
  • In a sauce pan on medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add in the minced garlic and cook in butter until lightly golden.
  • Stir in the Worcester sauce, salt, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, and hot sauce into the pan with the butter and garlic. Bring to a simmer and turn off the heat. Place the chicken into the buffalo sauce. Toss to coat evenly.
  • To assemble the salad, drizzle blue cheese dressing over the prepared plates of lettuce. Divide the buffalo chicken evenly on top of the salads. Top with the crumbled bacon and extra blue cheese. Enjoy!
