This Buffalo Wing Salad combines the crispy, spicy goodness of buffalo chicken with fresh vegetables and creamy blue cheese dressing. The chicken is breaded and pan-fried for a healthier alternative to deep-fried wings, then tossed in a classic buffalo sauce with a touch of honey for balance. Follow these simple steps to create a satisfying meal that's perfect for lunch or dinner.

For a lighter version, you can bake the breaded chicken tenders in a 400°F oven for 15-18 minutes instead of pan-frying. For extra heat, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the buffalo sauce mixture or serve with additional hot sauce on the side. This salad is best enjoyed immediately after assembly while the chicken is still warm and crispy.
