Buffalo Ranch Chicken Salad – The Lazy Way

I found this recipe on Pinterest:
http://www.thepinningmama.com/buffalo-ranch-chicken-salad-recipe-paleo-whole30-compliant/

and thought it sounded fantastic.  Because I had a lot going on, I didn’t want to spend a lot of time with the prep.  I did these swap outs, and it made the whole recipe incredibly simple. The result was fantastic, and there was more than I needed for a week’s worth of lunches.

• 3 cups chicken breast, shredded or chopped
  • Substitute = 3 cans of chicken in water
• 1½ cup celery, chopped
• 1 cup carrots, chopped
• ½ cup green onions, chopped
• ¼ sweet yellow onion, finely diced
  • Substitute = 2 small containers of mirepoix instead of the above veggies
• ½ cup mayonnaise {homemade if you are Paleo or Whole30}
• ¼ cup Franks Hot Sauce, original
  • Next time I will add more – It has flavor, but not much heat or kick with this much
• 1 Tbsp Ranch Seasoning Mix {use this one if you are Paleo or Whole30}

Just follow the recipe, to mix the mayo, redhot and seasoning separately, so it will mix with the chicken and veggies well.

That’s it!
